Summary: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential impact of an aerosol lidar monitoring network in China on air quality prediction. The results showed that integrating lidar measurements into the data assimilation system significantly improved the accuracy and spatial distribution prediction of PM2.5. The improvement effects were better in Central and East China. The positive effect of assimilation on PM2.5 prediction increased with an increase in lidar number, but the improvement gradually decreased with more lidars. It is important to balance forecasting effect and economic cost when establishing a lidar observation network.

Summary: This study used Arctic Ocean Observing System Simulation Experiments to assess the impacts of assimilating different observations on the Arctic ocean-sea ice state. It found that the sea ice state was significantly improved, but the ocean state was not well constrained by the existing hydrographic observing system. Additional ocean profiling arrays and mooring data can help improve the estimation of ocean temperature and other parameters.

Summary: This study explores the impact of observational data on forecasts in the 6-48 hour range, finding that self-analysis verification tends to overestimate forecast errors in the early forecast period but matches true values more closely by 48 hours. It is also found that beneficial observations are overinflated at short forecast times when self-analysis verification is used.

Summary: To understand the impact of assimilated environmental observations on forecast skill of convection-allowing models, a diverse range of observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) case studies are required. This study introduces a new methodology to generate a quasi-linear convective system in a highly sheared and modestly unstable environment. An example OSSE suggests that a combination of radar and conventional observations are required to improve the forecast skill of the quasi-linear convective system. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Summary: This work extends the GMAO OSSE framework to use a hybrid 4D-EnVar scheme instead of 3D-Var. A direct comparison is made between the two methodologies in terms of validation, and the benefits of upgrading to a 4D OSSE are highlighted. The validation shows that the hybrid 4D-EnVar OSSE maintains the capability to mimic real system behavior.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of MURON observations on Tropical Cyclone intensity forecast and finds that assimilating MURON observations can improve the TC structure and intensity analysis and forecast. Furthermore, the quality of moisture analysis is sensitive to the choice of the moisture control variable, with the use of mixing ratio moisture CV mitigating potential problems.

Summary: The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) was used to estimate the spatial distribution of the Young's modulus of an earth-fill dam model by assimilating the travel time to the first arrival of surface waves. By assimilating geophysical exploration data, the study simultaneously estimated the geotechnical properties and evaluated the uncertainties. The experiment showed that the initial ensemble generation method improved the reproducibility of the parameter field and reduced the uncertainties of the identified parameters.

Summary: The article discusses the relationship between the exponential growth of ocean modeling capabilities and the insufficient growth in ocean observation, emphasizing the importance of satellite and in situ observations in correcting numerical model conditions. Through experiments and observations with drifters, it shows the difference between constrained and unconstrained feature scales and their impact on prediction effectiveness.

Summary: In this study, we used the MEs-EnKF approach to investigate the relationship between conductivity estimates and the type of available hydraulic head information in a heterogeneous groundwater field. Our results show that monitoring wells of Type A provide the best quality estimates, while Type B and C wells yield similar quality estimates. Additionally, inflating the measurement-error covariance matrix can improve conductivity estimates in simplified flow models.

Summary: An analog offline ensemble Kalman filter (AOEnKF) is proposed, which constructs ensemble priors from a control climate simulation for each assimilation time based on an analog criterion using proxy observations. AOEnKF generates smaller posterior errors and requires much less computational cost compared to the online cycling EnKF (CEnKF). It has the advantages of having a more accurate prior ensemble mean and flow-dependent background error covariances compared to the commonly applied offline EnKF (OEnKF).

Summary: This study conducted an OSSE to identify potential locations for measuring surface ocean pCO2 in the Indian Ocean using Bayesian Inversion method. The potential benefits of installing pCO2 sensors in existing moorings, Bio-Argo floats, and SOOP program for underway sampling were evaluated. The study found that existing moorings can host pCO2 sensors and reduce uncertainty in sea-to-air CO2 flux estimation, while Bio-Argo floats and SOOP program may further reduce uncertainty by up to 50% and 62%, respectively.

Summary: The impact of model discretization errors on error covariance propagation is complex and depends on the covariance function and discretization scheme, with variance loss being particularly sensitive to correlation length. The variance inflation scheme can help restore lost variance during integration, changing variance spread of the ensemble or acting directly on the state.

Summary: This contribution proposes a new method for forecasting multivariate covariances for atmospheric chemistry using the parametric Kalman filter (PKF). The PKF modelizes the error covariance matrix with a covariance model relying on parameters and then calculates the dynamics. The PKF is extended from univariate to multivariate cases for chemical transport models and is compared with the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) in numerical experiments, showing accurate results.

Summary: Recent research has introduced the parametric Kalman filter (PKF) for improved efficiency and accuracy in data assimilation by approximating complex covariance matrices with a parameterized covariance model. The Python package SymPKF is able to compute PKF dynamics for univariate statistics and when the covariance model is parameterized, showcasing its potential to go beyond the univariate case. Symbolic computation of PKF dynamics is performed, with the introduction of an automatic code generator for numerical simulations.
