Short summary
Forecasting models start from initial conditions, and data assimilation (DA) is the way that initial conditions are found from a combination of previous model data and latest observations. The ABC model is a simplified convective-scale model developed previously, and ABC-DA is the version of this system that includes the DA capability. This system is described in the present paper, and its performance is demonstrated with a range of options that control how the data assimilation is done.
