Figure 4

The rms errors of the analysis and forecast for the 3DVAR, (red) EnKF, (green) hybrid EnKF-3DVAR, (blue) methods averaged over points at which the reflectivity is greater than 10 dBZ for (a) -wind component, (b) -wind component, (c) vertical wind speed, (d) potential temperature, (e) water vapor mixing ratio, and (f) reflectivity.
