3DVAR GSI USING ARW BACKGROUND (PREPBUFR AND OTHER OBS)
Introduction
This exercise consists of running the GSI analysis with an ARW netcdf formatted background field, conventional data from prepbufr, satellite radiances, gpsro and radar data.
Further information on setting up the run is available in chapter 3 of the GSI User's Guide.
The ARW background field is provided in netcdf format, and the regional NAM BE is employed as the background error covariance.
