abstract = {The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is coupled with upscaling
to build an aquifer model at a coarser scale than the scale
at which the conditioning data (conductivity and piezometric
head) had been taken for the purpose of inverse modeling.
Building an aquifer model at the support scale of
observations is most often impractical since this would
imply numerical models with many millions of cells. If, in
addition, an uncertainty analysis is required involving some
kind of Monte Carlo approach, the task becomes impossible.
For this reason, a methodology has been developed that will
use the conductivity data at the scale at which they were
collected to build a model at a (much) coarser scale
suitable for the inverse modeling of groundwater flow and
mass transport. It proceeds as follows: (1) Generate an
ensemble of realizations of conductivities conditioned to
the conductivity data at the same scale at which
conductivities were collected. (2) Upscale each realization
onto a coarse discretization; on these coarse realizations,
conductivities will become tensorial in nature with
arbitrary orientations of their principal components. (3)
Apply the EnKF to the ensemble of coarse conductivity
upscaled realizations in order to condition the realizations
to the measured piezometric head data. The proposed approach
addresses the problem of how to deal with tensorial
parameters, at a coarse scale, in ensemble Kalman filtering
while maintaining the conditioning to the fine-scale
hydraulic conductivity measurements. We demonstrate our
approach in the framework of a synthetic worth-of-data
exercise, in which the relevance of conditioning to
conductivities, piezometric heads, or both is analyzed.},
