Developments in the assimilation of satellite data in numerical weather prediction (NWP),
from the first experiments in the late 1960s to the present day, are presented in a two‐part …

This article reviews developments towards assimilating cloud‐and precipitation‐affected
satellite radiances at operational forecasting centres. Satellite data assimilation is moving …

This paper gives an update of the RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for TOVS) fast radiative
transfer model, which is widely used in the satellite retrieval and data assimilation …

Data assimilation (DA) methods for convective‐scale numerical weather prediction at
operational centres are surveyed. The operational methods include variational methods (3D …

Large‐eddy simulations (LES) with the new ICOsahedral Non‐hydrostatic atmosphere
model (ICON) covering Germany are evaluated for four days in spring 2013 using …

More than one hundred days were simulated over very large domains with fine (0.156 km to
2.5 km) grid spacing for realistic conditions to test the hypothesis that storm (kilometer) and …

Ten years ago, humidity observations were thought to give little benefit to global weather
forecasts. Nowadays, at the European Centre for Medium‐range Weather Forecasts …

Abstract In November 2021, the Royal Meteorological Society Data Assimilation (DA)
Special Interest Group and the University of Reading hosted a virtual meeting on the topic of …

Satellite images in the visible spectral range contain high‐resolution cloud information, but
have not been assimilated directly before. This paper presents a case‐study on the …

Abstract The Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI) on board the Fengyun (FY)-
4A geostationary satellite has provided high-spatiotemporal-resolution visible reflectance …
