CE 668 Advanced Methods in Hydrologic System Analysis

Principles in analysis of dynamic systems with specific emphasis on hydrologic model building. Variety of techniques in hydrologic system analysis with mathematical formulation, development and use of computer-based models for solving scientific and engineering problems are discussed. Among the topics presented will be the discussion of optimization theory, artificial intelligence, model calibration (parameter estimation), ensemble (probabilistic) forecasting, data assimilation and uncertainty analysis. Also offered as CE 568 and may be taken only once for credit. Recommended prerequisites: CE 465/565 or similar course.
