| Adaptive sampling with the
LETKF-based ensemble spread Junjie Liu |
| Purpose | ||
| Sample 10% adaptive DWL wind observations to get 90% improvement of full coverage | ||
| Compare ensemble spread method with other sampling strategies | ||
| How the results are sensitive to the data assimilation schemes (3D-Var and LETKF) | ||
| Note | ||
| same adaptive observations from ensemble spread method are assimilated by both 3D-Var and LETKF | ||

| Comparison of
ensemble-based and variational-based data assimilation schemes in a
Quasi-Geostrophic model. Shu-Chih Yang et al. |

| No-cost LETKF smoother |
| LETKF minimizes the errors of the day and thus provides an excellent first guess to the 3D-Var analysis |
