Abstract | Observations from microwave imagers provide a significant contribution to the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecast System (ECMWF-IFS). Continued development of the framework that utilises these observations ensures that current and future instruments can be exploited to their full potential. In particular, the work in this study will benefit the upcoming EUMETSAT Polar System - Second Generation (EPS-SG) Microwave Imager (MWI) as well as the Ice Cloud Imager (ICI). This report focuses on the microwave imager data being assimilated (both in terms of instruments and frequencies) and the simulation of Brightness Temperatures (TBs) for comparison to the observations. |
