Motivation
• The upcoming hyper-spectral IR instruments on geostationary satellites will provide information with high vertical and temporal resolution.
• Positive impact on wind analysis/forecasts has been demonstrated with– Geostationary radiances (Peuby and McNally 2009, Lupu and McNally 2012, Lupu and McNally 2013)
– Microwave instruments in the all-sky framework (Geer et al, 2014).
• Here focus is on the current hyper-spectral IR instruments on board polar orbiting satellites.

• Adjustments in the mass fields of the atmosphere.
• Assimilation system has freedom to adjust the wind field of the initial conditions directly.

Wind analysis scores
• Wind analysis error: departure from the ECMWF analysis using full observing system.
• The analysis error is compared to that of Baseline experiment.
– Wind analysis score = 0%, no improvement over the baseline experiment (conventional + AMSU-A)
– Wind analysis score = 100%, no error with respect to the full observing system analysis

Conclusions• Assimilation of humidity sensitive radiance observations in 4D-Var impact the wind analysis via
– Adjustments in the mass fields of the atmosphere.
– Adjustments in the wind field directly
• Hyperspectral IR observations from polar orbiting satellites have clear positive impact on wind analysis and forecasts.
– Majority of the impact comes from the water vapour channels
– Currently only 10 water vapour channels from IASI and 7 channels both from CrIS and AIRS are used operationally
• Upcoming hyperspectral IR instruments on geostationary satellites will provide observations up to 30 min time resolution and have enormous potential for NWP.
