  12. Ultra-Rapid DA (URDA) Properties: • Equivalent to Normal sequential DA for linear Model and observation operator [Potthast & Welzbacher 2018]: • Applicable to several assimilation steps from different time intervals: • No model reinitialization necessary. • No need to update the whole model state. A reduced set of selected variables and gridpoints can be updated: page 10

  35. Conclusions and Perspective 1. URDA shows great potential for short leadtimes: • Reduced computational cost • No spinup effect 2. Observation operator for car observations under development • Quality control for a moving weather station • Modelling of dependency between meteorological state and auto-microclimate • Auto-dependent bias correction • Time- and spatial aggregation • Data anonymization page 18
