The ensemble sensitivity method proposed by Liu and Kalnay (2008) to estimate the impact of observations on reducing forecast error is shown to have a slight error and is corrected here. The corrected formula captures the actual forecast error reduction better and removes the positive bias in the estimation introduced by the original formula.
