Short summary
Covariance localization to mitigate sampling error of ensemble-based forecast error covariances is one of the main parts of the calculation in ensemble-variational data assimilation for the atmosphere. This study clarifies that the multigrid beta filter-based localization makes it several times faster than the conventional recursive filter-based one without significantly changing the analysis if a coarser filter grid is applied and filters except for the coarsest resolution are omitted.
