Impact of assimilating radar data using a hybrid 4DEnVar approach on prediction of convective events

This study developed a hybrid four-dimensional (4D) ensemble–variational (4DEnVar) radar data assimilation (DA) system for the Weather Research and Forecasting model. The 4DEnVar approach incorporated ensemble covariances at multiple time levels to assimilate observations distributed in the assimila...
