Opportunistic experiments to constrain aerosol effective radiative forcing
Aerosol-cloud interactions (ACIs) are considered to be the most uncertain driver of present-day radiative forcing due to human activities. The nonlinearity of cloud-state...- publication PDF

Performance bounds for particle filters using the optimal proposal
Particle filters may suffer from degeneracy of the particle weights. For the simplest "bootstrap" filter, it is known that avoiding degeneracy in large systems requires that the...- publication PDF
