“…The 3DVAR was designed especially for the storm-scale assimilation of radial wind observations from multiple radars for input into the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS; Xue et al 2000Xue et al , 2001Xue et al , 2003. It uses a recursive filter (Purser et al 2003), with a mass continuity equation and other constraints incorporated into a cost function, yielding physically consistent three-dimensional analyses of the wind components and other model variables. However, because model forecasts are not involved in this study, the ARPS model itself is not used.…”

“…The full F is too large to compute directly, and assumptions and approximations are made to simplify the calculation of F. Huang (2000) demonstrated that the effects of applying the operator F on the control variable q in (4) can be achieved through the use of equivalent spatial filters. We follow the methodology in Purser et al (2003) by assuming that the error covariance matrix B is isotropic and homogeneous, and recursive filters are applied to the control variables to model the effects of F as…”

“…Here we assume that the background errors in u and v are uncorrelated, and the spatial error covariances are assumed Gaussian and modeled using a recursive spatial filter (Hayden and Purser 1995;Purser et al 2003;Gao et al 2004b;Liu and Xue 2006). The diagonal elements of B are the error variances of the background field.…”
