Impact of variational assimilation using multivariate background error covariances on the simulation of monsoon depressions over India

The background error covariance structure influences a variational data assimilation system immensely. The simulation of a weather phenomenon like monsoon depression can hence be influenced by the background correlation information used in the analysis formulation. The Weather Research and Forec...
