The Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoother is a linear-Gaussian smoothing algorithm that is popular in the engineering community. This note is a study of its ensemble formulation (EnRTS). An on-line expression is derived and discussed. In particular, it is used to show that the EnRTS is equivalent to the ensemble Kalman smoother (EnKS), even in the nonlinear, non-Gaussian case. The theory is revisited under practical considerations and equability is illustrated by numerical experiments, even though equivalence is broken by inflation and localisation.
