Comparison of different momentum control variables on assimilating radar observations for the forecasts of a dispersive convective event

In this study, the effects of background error covariance (BE) using the stream function ψ and unbalanced velocity potential χu as momentum control variables (CV5 scheme) and BE using the velocity U and V as momentum control variables (CV7 scheme) on assimilating radar radial velocity and reflectivi...
