The Potential Observation Network Design with Mesoscale Ensemble Sensitivities in Complex Terrain

Observation network design requires some framework for sensitivity studies. The goal is to place observations where they will reduce forecast error the most. We use uncertainty estimates from our best forecast models as an indicator of forecast error. The first step is then to find initial-state per...
