Python Ensemble Smoother with Multiple Data Assimilation
pyesmda is an open-source, and object-oriented library that provides a user friendly implementation of one of the most popular ensemble based method for parameters estimation and data assimilation: the Ensemble Smoother with Multiple Data Assimilation (ES-MDA) algorithm, introduced by Emerick and Reynolds [1-2].
Thanks to its simple formulation, ES-MDA of Emerick and Reynolds (2012) is perhaps the most used iterative form of the ensemble smoother in geoscience applications.
