## Abstract This article examines the firstβguess (FG) departures of microwave imager radiances assimilated in allβsky conditions (i.e. clear, cloudy and precipitating). Agreement between FG and observations is good in clear skies, with error standard deviations around 2 K, but in heavy cloud or pr

## Abstract In this study, the localization of backgroundβerror correlations in both the spectral and the spatial domains is examined. While spatial localization has become a standard approach for reducing the sampling error of backgroundβerror correlations, localization of spectral correlations ha
An important question in ensemble based data assimilation scheme is how to configure our observations to correctly capture the important features in either our atmospheric or oceanic models given a set of ensembles. In this paper a systematic approach for effective sensor placement is formulated to
## Abstract Variational data assimilation systems for numerical weather prediction rely on a transformation of model variables to a set of control variables that are assumed to be uncorrelated. Most implementations of this transformation are based on the assumption that the balanced part of the flo
