## 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

## Abstract The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) can be interpreted in the more general context of linear regression theory. The recursive filter equations are equivalent to the normal equations for a weighted leastβsquares estimate that minimizes a quadratic functional. Solving the normal equations i
## Abstract In this study, a new Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) algorithm called EnKF with growingβerror correction (EnKFβGEC) is developed for minimizing the growing component of the forecast error; for this purpose, prospective observations are assimilated using empirical singular vectors (ESVs).
## Abstract Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) may have a longer spinβup time to reach its asymptotic level of accuracy than the corresponding spinβup time in variational methods (3DβVar or 4DβVar). During the spinβup EnKF has to fulfill two independent requirements, namely that the ensemble mean be clo
Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has been widely used as a sequential data assimilation method, primarily due to its ease of implementation resulting from replacing the covariance evolution in the traditional Kalman filter (KF) by an approximate Monte Carlo ensemble sampling. In this paper rigorous ana
