Improving Convective Precipitation Forecasts Using Ensemble‐Based Background Error Covariance in 3DVAR Radar Assimilation System

Abstract Skillful quantitative precipitation forecast using the numerical weather prediction model relies on an accurate estimate of the atmospheric state as an initial condition. Variational assimilation methods (VAR) have the potential to provide improved initial state estimation to the numerical...
