AbstractFor an atmospheric dispersion model designed for the assessment of nuclear accident consequences, some uncertain model parameters, such as source term and weather conditions, may influence the reliability of model predictions. In this respect, good estimations of both model state and uncertain parameters are required. In this paper, an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) based method for simultaneous state and parameter estimation, using off-site radiation monitoring data, is presented. This method is based on a stochastic state space model, which resembles the parameter errors with stochastic quantities. Three imperfect parameters, including the source release rate, wind direction and turbulence intensity were perturbed simultaneously, and multiple parameter estimation were performed. Having been tested against both simulated and real radiation monitoring data, the method was found to be able to realistically reconstruct the real scene of dispersion, as well as the uncertain parameters. The estimated parameters given by EnKF nicely converge to the true values, and the method also tracks the temporal variation of those parameters. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The authors would like to thank Dr. B. Lauritzen of Riso National Laboratory, Denmark, for providing the valuable data set of the 41Ar atmospheric dispersion experiment carried out at the BR1 research reactor in Mol, Belgium. The data made it possible to test out data assimilation method. We are grateful to Dr H.Y.Lam of the Hong Kong Observatory for his beneficial suggestion. We would also like to thank Mr. W.K.Kwan, the Computer Center of The University of Hong Kong, for the support on the parallel computation facilities.
