Hello,
I am a PhD student, with a background in Civil Engineering, and I am currently working on the assimilation of flood maps derived from satellite into hydrologic-hydraulic models.
I would like to know if you have suggestions of good books about data assimilation especially focused on Particle Filters with applications in hydrology and hydraulics.
Thank you in advance.
I think that is difficult to find a book on that specific topic, but you can find in a separate way the topics Data Assimilation and Particle Filters. In other hand, is not common to find applications for hydrology and hydraulics in a book, the only one that I know is the book of John E. Gribbin: Introduction to Hydraulics and Hydrology
I will agree with Walter Antolinez that maybe books are not the best source of information for what you are looking for, as this is a highly specialized and dynamic area. Perhaps "Handbook of Hydrometeorological Ensemble Forecasting" from Springer could help you... I will also suggest these review articles that might serve as a good introduction to PFs:
- van Leeuwen, P. J. (2009). “Particle Filtering in Geophysical Systems.” Monthly Weather Review, 137(12), 4089–4114.
- van Leeuwen, P. J. (2015). “Nonlinear Data Assimilation for high-dimensional systems.” Nonlinear Data Assimilation, J. P. Van Leeuwen, Y. Cheng, and S. Reich, eds., Springer International Publishing, 1–73.
Please also check out our work on OPTIMISTS, an open source hybrid method that incorporates ideas from PFs for general high-resolution problems: Hernández, F., and Liang, X. (2018). “Hybridizing Bayesian and variational data assimilation for high-resolution hydrologic forecasting.” Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci., Copernicus Publications, 22(11), 5759–5779.
Hard to find book with this trend I recommend you to deal with hydrology software
I think the best check with professor of major in Chinese universities they are help for you.
Heartily thanks.
I'm Ms CIVIL ENGINEERING student in the field of structural design from Pakistan. I want need research way in PhD.

This question has increased my information. I am really grateful to Dr.Concetta Di Mauro for starting such a question.
Not a text book but some interesting work on data assimilation and flood modelling has come out of the Flooding from Intense Rainfall (FFIR) programme (http://blogs.reading.ac.uk/flooding). e.g.

Good day,
I hope that the following links would help you.
