Overview of the proposed methodology: Bred Vectors There are dynamical methods that try to estimate the fastest growing error modes in the IC: Singular vectors (ECMWF Bred vectors (NCEP: The first method proposed by ENSEMBLE to explore the best guess pdf. The fastest growing modes are obtained from the nonlinear model by periodically rescaling the bred perturbations (Toth and Kalnay, 1993 Breeding fast-growing vectors BV breeding time (T+12h T+72h Lead-TimeT+72h Toth and Kalnay (1997: The bred growing modes are akin to local Lyapunov vectors 2
