Observing System Experiments (OSEs):• Comparing forecasts w/ and w/o a set of observations• Direct approach to evaluate the observational impact• Low discernibility, Computationally expensive
Forecast Sensitivity to Observations (FSO):• Langland and Baker (2004)• Computationallyeconomical• Requires adjoint model(inconsistent in representing moist processes.)
Ensemble FSO (EFSO):• Kalnay et al. (2012)• Estimates impact of each observation all at once• Computationally economical,Free of adjoint model• Requiresadvectionof localization

observations can be approximated by the analysis obtained when those observations
coincide with the corresponding background (i.e., the innovation is zero). Let

EFSO can find Flawed Obs.
Adapted from Kalnay (2012)
Large random errorat the 10th grid point:• 8 times larger than specified in R• Neighboring grid points becomemore helpful
Biased observationat the 30th grid point:• Bias = 0.3 (Range of L96 is 28)• Neighboring grid points becomemore helpful
Truly flawed obs. can be detected by EFSO

Low % of Beneficial Obs in (E)FSOIn literatures:• Inaccurate verifying analysis (Daescu 2009)• Statistical nature of DA (Gelaro 2010, Ehrendorfer 2007)• Inaccurate B and modes with differentgrowthrates(Lorenc and Marriot 2014)
Our findings:• Background quality is as important as to Observational quality
Most of the observations become very useful when background is not good.i.e. Our forecasts are doing a very good job
