The performance of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) in forced, dissipativeflow under imperfect model conditions is investigated through simultaneous state andparameter estimation where the source of model error is the uncertainty in the modelparameters. Two numerical models with increasing...

This study examines the dynamics and predictability of the mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) event of 10-13 June 2003 which occurred during the Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX). The MCV formed from a preexisting upper-level disturbance over the southwest United States...
