Scale-dependent background-error covariance localisation

A new approach is presented and evaluated for efficiently applying scale-dependent spatial localisation to ensemble background-error covariances within an ensemble-variational data assimilation system. The approach is primarily motivated by the requirements of future data assimilation systems for gl...
