Conservation of Mass and Preservation of Positivity with Ensemble-Type Kalman Filter Algorithms

This paper considers the incorporation of constraints to enforce physically based conservation laws in the ensemble Kalman filter. In particular, constraints are used to ensure that the ensemble members and the ensemble mean conserve mass and remain nonnegative through measurement updates. In certai...
