RONBAMErrInflate

This action calculates the observation error inflation factor (EIF) and returns the effective observation error for the GNSS RO NBAM operator.

The EIF is the square root of the number of observations (those that passed quality control procedures) within two adjacent model layers. When there is only one observation between the two layers, the inflation factor is one; otherwise the EIF is greater than one.

EIF = sqrt(effective obs number)

The effective observation number is the number of RO observations within the model layer after QC.

Example:

- filter: Background Check RONBAM
  filter variables:
  - name: bendingAngle
  action:
    name: RONBAMErrInflate
