Habib Toye Mahamadou Kele

Habib's research focuses on developing and implementing efficient ensemble Kalman filters for data assimilation into a high resolution model of the Red Sea. He has developed a fault-free DART-MITgcm ensemble assimilation system and successfully tested it with 1000-members on the KAUST supercomputer Shaheen. Habib also derived cost-effective adaptive ensemble OI schemes and demonstrated their relevance for assimilating SSH and SST data in the Red Sea. He is currently working on developing a hybrid EnKF scheme with an adaptive static ensemble covariance to be tested in the Red Sea.
