Comparison of 3DVar and EnSRF Data Assimilation Using Radar Observations for the Analysis and Prediction of an MCS

<div>Neighborhood probabilities (NPs) of forecast radar reflectivity &gt; 35 dBZ at 0230 UTC (a, d, g), 0300 UTC (b, e, h), and 0330 UTC (c, f, i) on 30 July 2014 from the NoDA (a–c), 3DVar (d–f), and EnSRF (g–i) experiments. Regions of reflectivity &gt; 35 dBZ are outlined by the bold blue contour.</div>
