Effect of background error tuning on assimilating radar radial velocity observations for the forecast of hurricane tracks and intensities

Abstract The background error covariance is an important component in data assimilation systems, which largely dominates the error correlations between different analysis variables. This study aimed to assess the impact of the determination of the background error length and variance scale factors o...
