Abstract
⺠We examine the uncertainty of observed and modeled winds in the lower troposphere. ⺠Uncertainty of wind observations was found to be about 1.8 m sâ1 and 20-25°. ⺠Assimilation of wind profile observations reduced modeled transport uncertainty. ⺠Nudging in the planetary boundary layer using surface wind may not be necessary. ⺠Our nudging method reduces modeled transport uncertainty to that of the observations.
