A hybrid nudging-ensemble Kalman filter approach to data assimilation. Part I: application in the Lorenz system

A hybrid data assimilation approach combining nudging and the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for dynamic analysis and numerical weather prediction is explored here using the non-linear Lorenz three-variable model system with the goal of a smooth, continuous and accurate data assimilation. The hybrid...
