Potential of an ensemble Kalman smoother for stratospheric chemical-dynamical data assimilation

A new stratospheric ensemble Kalman smoother (EnKS) system is introduced, and the potential of assimilating posterior stratospheric observations to better constrain the whole model state at analysis time is investigated. A set of idealised perfect-model Observation System Simulation Experiments (OSS...
