Short summary
The accuracy of the assimilation results crucially relies on the estimate accuracy of forecast error covariance matrix in data assimilation. Ensemble Kalman filter estimates the forecast error covariance matrix as the sampling covariance matrix of the ensemble forecast states, which need to be further inflated. The experiment results on the Lorenz-96 model show that the analysis error is reduced and the analysis sensitivity to observations is improved using the proposed inflation technique.
