Abstract |
The assimilation of radiance data from Meteosat-8 and Meteosat-11 continues to be of value to the ECMWF system, along with other satellites in the geostationary ring. In particular, forecast sensitivity to observation impact (FSOI) results indicate that these observations are among the most beneficial infrared water vapour observations when normalised to produce the impact per observation, with the two Meteosat satellites giving the largest impact per observation in this category. Meteosat radiance observations with high zenith angles are now being exploited operationally in the ECMWF system, and we would encourage other data providers to disseminate observations with similarly large zenith angles. |
