Drifting buoy pressures: Impact on NWP
This study was conducted to assess the impact on NWP and to provide guidance on drifting buoy observation density, with particular attention to the North Atlantic. The impact of halving the buoy density was studied using observing system experiments; as expected half the density has more than half t...
