Virtual Event: ECMWF/EUMETSAT NWP SAF Workshop on the treatment of random and systematic errors in satellite data assimilation for NWP

Satellite observations sensitive to cloud and precipitation are assimilated in operational weather forecasting using the `all-sky' approach. A key part of this is a situation-dependent model for observation error, which inflates the variances in cloudy conditions to represent large increases in model error and representation error. Observation error correlations are in general not yet...
