Comparison of NMC and Ensemble-Based Climatological Background-Error Covariances in an Operational Limited-Area Data Assimilation System

The evaluation of several climatological background-error covariance matrix (defined as the B matrix) estimation methods was performed using the ALADIN limited-area modeling data-assimilation system at a 4 km horizontal grid spacing. The B matrices compared were derived using the standard National M...
