THE INFLUENCE OF BACKGROUND ERROR COVARIANCE OF GSI THREE-DIMENSIONAL VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION ON METEOROLOGY AND AEROSOL PREDICTION

Background error covariance (BEC) plays a key role in a variational data assimilation system. It determines variable analysis increments by spreading information from observation points. In order to test the influence of BEC on the GSI data assimilation and prediction of aerosol in Beijing-Tianjin-H...
