Remote sensing of meteorological parameters helps to provide the initial conditions for
numerical weather prediction (NWP). Desired fields include those of temperature, moisture …

A simple model that yields the spatial correlation structure of global atmospheric mass-field
forecast errors is derived. The model states that the relative potential vorticity of the forecast …

A brief review is presented of simulation studies and real-data experiments that were
conducted to assess the impact of satellite observations on numerical weather prediction …

The reliability of reductions of forecasting error derived from changes in the quality of the
initial data or model formulation is considered using a signal-to-noise analysis. Defining the …
