Short summary
The structure of an ensemble-based coupled atmosphere-chemistry forecast error covariance is examined using the WRF-Chem, a coupled atmosphere-chemistry model. It is found that the coupled error covariance has important cross-variable components that allow a physically meaningful adjustment of all control variables. Additional benefit of the coupled error covariance is that a cross-component impact is allowed; e.g., atmospheric observations can exert impact on chemistry analysis, and vice versa.
