Assessing the Accuracy of 3D-VAR in Supercell Thunderstorm Forecasting: A Regional Background Error Covariance Study

Assessing the Accuracy of 3D-VAR in Supercell Thunderstorm Forecasting: A Regional Background Error Covariance Study

Data assimilation (DA) integrates observational data with numerical weather predictions to enhance weather forecast accuracy. This study evaluates three regional background error (BE) covariance statistics for numerical weather prediction (NWP) via a variational data assimilation (VAR) scheme. The b...
