Data assimilation system (4D-Var)
The observations are used to correct errors in the shortforecast from the previous analysis time.
Every 12 hours we assimilate 4 – 8,000,000 observations tocorrect the 100,000,000 variables that define the model’svirtual atmosphere.
This is done by a careful 4-dimensional interpolation inspace and time of the available observations; this operationtakes as much computer power as the 10-day forecast.
~3,000,000 from AIRS& IASI!

Advanced diagnostics
The forecast sensitivity(Cardinali, 2009, QJRMS,135, 239-250) denotes thesensitivity of a forecast errormetric (dry energy norm at 24or 48-hour range) to theobservations. The forecastsensitivity is determined bythe sensitivity of the forecasterror to the initial state, theinnovation vector, and theKalman gain.

IASI spatial covariance - summary
• Background departure covariances for IASI suggest a smallerror that is correlated between different scan-positions andscan-lines, with alternating positive and negative correlations.
• Similar patterns observed at ECMWF and Met Office.• Effect largest for pixels 1 and 2, little effect for pixels 3 and 4.• The size of the error is small and of no concern to the
assimilation of the data.
• Error appears to be correlated to the direction of themovement of the corner-cube mirror.
• Possibly a signature of micro-vibrations affecting spectralcharacteristics (Denis Blumstein)?
