Sensitivity tests for an ensemble Kalman filter for aerosol assimilation

We present sensitivity tests for a global aerosol assimilation system utilizing AERONET observations of AOT (aerosol optical thickness) and AAE (aerosol Ångström exponent). The assimilation system employs an ensemble Kalman filter which requires tuning of three numerical parameters: ensemble size &a...
