## 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

## Abstract This article reviews the characteristics of forecast error statistics in meteorological data assimilation from the substantial literature on this subject. It is shown how forecast error statistics appear in the data assimilation problem through the background error covariance matrix, **

## Abstract This article reviews a range of leading methods to model the background error covariance matrix (the **B**‐matrix) in modern variational data assimilation systems. Owing partly to its very large rank, the **B**‐matrix is impossible to use in an explicit fashion in an operational setting

## Abstract This paper studies the sensitivity of global ocean analyses to two flow‐dependent formulations of the background‐error standard deviations (σ^b^) for temperature and salinity in a three‐dimensional variational data assimilation (3D‐Var) system. The first formulation is based on an empir

## Abstract The potential vorticity based control variable transformation for variational data assimilation, proposed in Cullen (2003), is a promising alternative to the currently more common vorticity based transformation. It leads to a better decorrelation of the control variables, but it involve
