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

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 Within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), ECMWF is producing the
ERA5 reanalysis which, once completed, will embody a detailed record of the global …

Representation, representativity, representativeness error, forward interpolation error,
forward model error, observation‐operator error, aggregation error and sampling error are …

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

Satellite infrared (IR) sounder and imager measurements have become one of the main
sources of data used by data assimilation systems to generate initial conditions for …

All-sky assimilation of infrared (IR) radiances has not yet become operational at any weather
forecasting centre, but it promises to bring new observations in sensitive areas and avoid the …

Numerical prediction of aerosol particle properties has become an important activity at many
research and operational weather centers. This development is due to growing interest from …

This study examines the advantages of infrared all‐sky radiance (ASR) assimilation over
traditional clear‐sky radiance (CSR) assimilation using a mesoscale LETKF data …
