Abstract

A technique for estimating eddy diffusivities in a turbulent atmospheric layer is presented; the scheme adopted is based on an inverse-problem methodology. The inverse problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is defined through the square differences between experimental and model data. The direct mathematical model is given by the advection-diffusion equation, which is solved by second-order finite-difference method. In the presence of noise it is necessary to use some regularization term; the Tikhonov function and an entropic regularization of zeroth, first and second orders are used in this paper. In addition, two inversion strategies are used: alternate and simultaneous eddy diffusivities estimation. Numerical experiments show a good performance of the proposed methodology.
