The hypervariational method: a general, automated technique based on innovations to tune the parameters of the Hybrid covariance matrix
超变分方法:基于新息自动调优混合协方差矩阵参数的通用技术
The Hybrid forecast covariance model is an operationally successful way to build a background error covariance matrix. It is constructed as a weighted sum, with scalar weights, of the climatological covariance matrix and a localized ensemble covariance matrix, with a localization matrix typically depending on a localization length. For best performance, the Hybrid needs to be optimized by tuning those weights and, possibly, other parameters, such as the localization length.…
