Questions & Answers on field uncertainty estimates
For information and "questions and answers" (Q&A) on the uncertainty estimates for the ERA5 host reanalysis used on the lateral boundaries of this Arctic Regional Reanalysis, see this link:
ERA5: uncertainty estimation
The field uncertainty estimates provided here apply a different approach. The below Q&A is similar to the Q&A for the global reanalysis, adapted to apply for the uncertainty estimates provided here (for the Arctic reanalysis).
...
The Arctic reanalysis system applies the so-called 3D variational data assimilation (3D-VAR) reanalysis method. The 3D-VAR method is depicted schematically in Figure 19. At fixed points in time the model state is adjusted based on the observed state, taking into account the statistics of model and observation errors. The Arctic reanalysis system is run with eight cycles per day performing analyses at 00 UTC, 03 UTC, 06 UTC, 09 UTC, 12 UTC, 15 UTC, 18 UTC and 21 UTC. The forecast lengths vary between 3 and 30 hours.
