A simpler formulation of forecast sensitivity to observations: application to ensemble Kalman filters

We introduce a new formulation of the ensemble forecast sensitivity developed by Liu and Kalnay with a small correction from Li et al. The new formulation, like the original one, is tested on the simple Lorenz 40-variable model. We find that, except for short-range forecasts, the use of localization...
