This paper seeks to represent the tropical short‐range forecast error covariances of the European Centre for Medium‐RangeWeather Forecasts (ECMWF) model in terms of equatorial waves. The motivation for undertaking this investigation is increasing observational evidence indicating that a substantial fraction of the tropical largescale variability can be explained by equatorially trapped wave solutions known from shallow‐water theory. Shortrange forecast differences from a data‐assimilation ensemble were taken to serve as a proxy for background errors.
