Background Error
• B specification vital for controlling amplitude and structure for correction to model first guess (background)
• Covariance matrix– Controls influence distance– Contains multivariate information
• Typically estimated a-prior offline

Variables for GSI-GFSAnalysis
• Background errors defined in terms of analysis variable– Streamfunction (Ψ)– Unbalanced Velocity Potential (χunbalanced)– Unbalanced Virtual Temperature (Tunbalanced)– Unbalanced Surface Pressure (Psunbalanced)– Relative Humidity
• Two options
– Ozone mixing ratio– Cloud water mixing ratio– Skin temperature
• Analyzed, but not passed onto GFS model3

Balanced analysis variables
• χ = χunbalanced + A Ψ
• T = Tunbalanced + B Ψ
• Ps = Psunbalanced + C Ψ
• Streamfunction is a key variable defining a large percentage temperature and surface pressure
• A, B, C are empirical matrices (estimated with linear regression) to project stream function increment onto balanced component of other variables

Multivariate Variable Definition
Tb = B ; b = A ; Psb = C
Projection of at vertical level 25 onto vertical profile of balanced temperature (G25)
Percentage of full temperature variance explained by the balance projection

Elements needed for Bin GSI
• For each analysis variable (latitude/level)– Amplitude (variance)– Recursive filter parameters
• Horizontal length scale (km, for Gaussian)
• Vertical length scale (grid units, for Gaussian)– 3D variables only
• Additionally, balance coefficients– A, B, and C from previous slides

Estimating Background Error
• NMC Method*– Lagged forecast pairs (i.e. 24/24 hr forecasts valid at same time)– Assume: Linear error growth– Easy to generate statistics from operational (old) forecast pairs
• Ensemble Method– Ensemble differences of forecasts– Assume: Ensemble represents actual error
• Observation Method– Difference between forecast and observations– Difficulties: observation coverage and multivariate components

Stream FunctionStandard Deviation
• Function of latitude and height
• Larger in midlatitudes than in the tropics
• Larger in Southern Hemisphere than Northern Hemisphere

Standard Deviation
• Divergent wind variance maximum in upper tropospheric tropics
• Large temperature variances near surface in extratropics
![Page 11: 11 Background Error Daryl T. Kleist* daryl.kleist@noaa.gov National Monsoon Mission Scoping Workshop IITM, Pune, India 11-15 April 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649f1f5503460f94c36ddf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

StreamfunctionLength Scales
• Generally smaller scales in the tropics• Horizontal scales more uniform (latitude) than vertical

Fat-Tailed Spectrum
• Sum of three Gaussians used in horizontal

Moisture Variable
• Option 1– Pseudo-RH
• Option 2*– Normalized relative humidity– Multivariate with temperature and pressure– Standard Deviation a function of background relative humidity

Flow Dependent B (variances only)
• One motivation for GSI was to permit flow dependent variability in background error
• Take advantage of FGAT (guess at multiple times) to modify variances based on 9h-3h differences– Variance increased in regions of large tendency– Variance decreased in regions of small tendency– Global mean variance ~ preserved
• Perform reweighting on streamfunction, velocity potential, virtual temperature, and surface pressure only

Flow-Dependence
• Although flow-dependent variances are used, confined to be a rescaling of fixed estimate based on time tendencies
– No cross-variable or length scale information used
– Does not necessarily capture ‘errors of the day’
• Plots valid 00 UTC 12 September 2008

Summary
• Background error key component to data assimilation system
• A-prior, off-line estimates are typically used– NMC method for NCEP/GFS
• Can be cumbersome and require substantial testing/tuning
• Ensemble and Hybrid methods are the future (for 3D and 4D applications)– See Hybrid DA Talk
