## Abstract The ensemble sensitivity method proposed by Liu and Kalnay (2008) to estimate the impact of observations on reducing forecast error is shown to have a slight error and is corrected here. The corrected formula captures the actual forecast error reduction better and removes the positive b

## Abstract We propose an ensemble sensitivity method to calculate observation impacts similar to Langland and Baker (2004) but without the need for an adjoint model, which is not always available for numerical weather prediction models. The formulation is tested on the Lorenz 40‐variable model, an
## Abstract Covariance inflation plays an important role within the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) in preventing filter divergence and handling model errors. However the inflation factor needs to be tuned and tuning a parameter in the EnKF is expensive. Previous studies have adaptively estimated the
