A Comparison of HWRF Six-Hourly 4DEnVar and Hourly 3DEnVar Assimilation of Inner Core Tail Dopper Radar Observations for the Prediction of Hurricane Edouard (2014)

Six-hourly three-dimensional ensemble variational (3DEnVar) (6H-3DEnVar) data assimilation (DA) assumes constant background error covariance (BEC) during a six-hour DA window and is, therefore, unable to account for temporal evolution of the BEC. This study evaluates the one-hourly 3DEnVar (1H-3DEnV...
