Ensemble Kalman filter assimilation of near-surface observations over complex terrain: comparison with 3DVAR for short-range forecasts [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2013 Surface observations are the main conventional observations for weather forecasts. However, in modern numerical weather prediction, the use of surface observations, especially those data over complex terrain, remains a unique challenge.

Surface Wind Regionalization in Complex Terrain [PDF]
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2008 AbstractDaily wind variability in the Comunidad Foral de Navarra in northern Spain was studied using wind observations at 35 locations to derive subregions with homogeneous temporal variability. Two different methodologies based on principal component analysis were used to regionalize: 1) cluster analysis and 2) the rotation of the selected principal ...
