The Use of EARS data at the Met Office
Recent studies at the Met Office suggest that using late ATOVS observations which do not normally arrive in time to be used in the main forecast runs of the global model can result in significant improvements to forecast accuracy in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because the late data results in d...
