Background ~106-8 d.o.f.
Errors of the day: they lie
on the low-dim attractor
Observations ~105-7 d.o.f.
After the EnKF computes the analysis and the analysis error covariance A, the new ensemble initial perturbations           are computed: 
These perturbations represent the
analysis error covariance and are
used as initial perturbations for the
next ensemble forecast
