The ensemble forecast dominates the computational cost of many data assimilation methods, especially for high‐resolution and coupled models. In situations where the cost is prohibitive, one can either use a lower‐cost model or a lower‐cost data assimilation method, or both. Ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI) is a classical example of a lower‐cost ensemble data assimilation method that replaces the ensemble forecast with a single forecast and then constructs an ensemble about this single forecast by adding perturbations drawn from climatology. This research develops lower‐cost ensemble data assimilation methods that add perturbations to a single forecast, where the perturbations are obtained from analogs of the single model forecast. These analogs can either be found from a catalog of model states, constructed using linear combinations of model states from a catalog, or constructed using generative machine‐learning methods. Four analog ensemble data assimilation methods, including two new ones, are compared with EnOI in the context of a coupled model of intermediate complexity: Q‐GCM. Depending on the method and on the physical variable, analog methods can be up to 40% more accurate than EnOI.
