Abstract. While nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations arise naturally in spatiotemporal modeling, inference for such systems often faces two major challenges: sparse noisy data and ill-posedness of the inverse problem of parameter estimation. To overcome the challenges, we introduce a strongly regularized posterior by normalizing the likelihood and by imposing physical constraints through priors of the parameters and states. We investigate joint parameter-state estimation by the regularized posterior in a physically motivated nonlinear stochastic energy balance model (SEBM) for paleoclimate reconstruction. The high-dimensional posterior is sampled by a particle Gibbs sampler that combines a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method with an optimal particle filter exploiting the structure of the SEBM. In tests using either Gaussian or uniform priors based on the physical range of parameters, the regularized posteriors overcome the ill-posedness and lead to samples within physical ranges, quantifying the uncertainty in estimation. Due to the ill-posedness and the regularization, the posterior of parameters presents a relatively large uncertainty, and consequently, the maximum of the posterior, which is the minimizer in a variational approach, can have a large variation. In contrast, the posterior of states generally concentrates near the truth, substantially filtering out observation noise and reducing uncertainty in the unconstrained SEBM.

AbstractIn Han & Han (2012), we have preliminarily built BayeSED and applied it to a sample of hyperluminous infrared galaxies. The physically reasonable results obtained from Bayesian model comparison and parameter estimation show that BayeSED could be a useful tool for understanding the nature of complex systems, such as dust obscured starburst-AGN composite galaxies, from decoding their complex SEDs. In this contribution, we present a more rigorous test of BayeSED by making a mock catalog from model SEDs with the value of all parameters to be known in advance.

La Functional Urban Area (FUA) di Milano è un’area densamente popolata (2.254.263 abitanti) dove l’approvvigionamento idrico è garantito esclusivamente mediante prelievi idrici sotterranei. Per questa ragione la protezione della qualità delle falde rientra tra le priorità delle politiche ambientali di Regione Lombardia. Recentemente è stato avviato un programma di studi ed interventi aventi lo scopo d’individuare i principali plumes di contaminazione da solventi clorurati distinguendone l’impatto da quello legato all’inquinamento diffuso. In questo articolo si presenta il modello di flusso sviluppato per il settore NE della FUA di Milano, settore utilizzato quale area pilota per sviluppare e testare una nuova metodologia che combina statistica e modellistica al fine di distinguere il contributo delle fonti di contaminazione puntuale rispetto a quelle diffuse.
