Preliminary Steps Towards Improving Short-Term QPF Using Airs Observations Through 4D-Var Data Assimilation

The varying tasks required for assimilating satellite radiance observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) into the initial conditions of a numerical weather prediction model are discussed. The tangent linear and adjoint observation operators were developed from a fast and computationa...
