Abstract Observing‐system simulation experiments (OSSE) were performed in order to determine the effect of horizontal and vertical data resolution, data location and measurement error on mesoscale‐forecast accuracy. For the data‐density experiments, data sets with various horizontal and vertical resolutions were extracted after 12 h of a 36‐h mesoscale model forecast of an East Coast cyclogenesis event. After reanalysis of the extracted data back to the model grid, the model was restarted and the experimental forecasts were compared to the original control forecast for the 12‐h to 36‐h period. In addition to these data‐density experiments, other OSSEs were performed in which the data were extracted at different locations, and in which measurement error was imposed in the simulated data sets. Initial and forecast errors were quantified using average‐error statistics as well as the amplitude and position of major meteorological features. Results show that the error, defined with respect to the control run, ...
