Applying an ensemble Kalman filter to the assimilation of AERONET observations in a global aerosol transport model

We present a global aerosol assimilation system based on an Ensemble Kalman filter, which we believe leads to a significant improvement in aerosol fields. The ensemble allows realistic, spatially and temporally variable model covariances (unlike other assimilation schemes). As the analyzed variables...
