Ensemble Kalman filtering without the intrinsic need for inflation

The main <i>intrinsic</i> source of error in the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is sampling error. External sources of error, such as model error or deviations from Gaussianity, depend on the dynamical properties of the model. Sampling errors can lead to instability of the...
