In recent years, ensemble-variational Data Assimilation (DA) methods have become cuttingedge issues of atmospheric data assimilation. The ensemblevariational DA methods which adopt the advantages of ensemble Kalman filter and variational DA is an effective way to the integration of ensemble prediction system and DA system in the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system. Firstly, the concept of ensemble-variational DA is introduced after the comparison of advantages and disadvantages between variational DA and ensemble Kalman filter. Secondly, the ensemble-variational DA methods are divided into two categories by different ways of background error covariance generation. One is simple linear combination of static and ensemble covariance, and the other is augmentation of control variables. Moreover, the related development is introduced and the concept of ensemblevariational DA is expanded. Then, the application of ensemblevariational DA in the Great Britain and the U.S. is introduced. Finally, the main issues of ensemblevariational DA are reviewed and the prospect of the future development trend is listed.

Key words: Ensemble-variational data assimilation, Variational data assimilation, Ensemble Kalman filter, Ensemble prediction
