Comparison of the ensemble Kalman filter and 4D-Var assimilation methods using a stratospheric tracer transport model

An ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) assimilation method is applied to the tracer transport using the same stratospheric transport model as in the four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) assimilation system BASCOE (Belgian Assimilation System for Chemical ObsErvations). This EnKF version of BASCOE was bui...
