Combining inflation-free and iterative ensemble Kalman filters for strongly nonlinear systems

The finite-size ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF-N) is an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) which, in perfect model condition, does not require inflation because it partially accounts for the ensemble sampling errors. For the Lorenz '63 and '95 toy-models, it was so far shown to perform as well or...
