Uncertainties in Microwave Properties of Frozen Precipitation: Implications for Remote Sensing and Data Assimilation (2010, background): “This topic has received considerable attention in recent years owing to the valuable information content contained in microwave observations that increases forecast skill (e.g., English et al. 2000; Mahfouf et al. 2005; Weng et al. 2007; Kelly et al. 2008).”
Satellite-Based Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Development and Applications (2017, methodology): “The third stage (1998– 2012) was realized with the Advanced TOVS (ATOVS; Li et al. 2000; English et al. 2000) on the NOAA-15 to NOAA-19 series, which introduced three instruments measuring radiances in a total of 40 spectral channels.”
Improved scattering radiative transfer for frozen hydrometeors at microwave frequencies (2014, background): “Microwave observations are widely used to infer atmospheric temperature and water vapour, particularly in numerical weather prediction (NWP, e.g.English et al., 2000).”
Some aspects of the improvement in skill of numerical weather prediction (2002, methodology): “…from use of three- Some Aspects of the Improvement in Skill of Numerical Weather Prediction 4 Technical Memorandum No.342 dimensional variational analysis and direct assimilation of TOVS and ATOVS radiances (Parrish and Derber 1992; English et al. 2000; Lorenc et al. 2000; McNally et al. 2000).”
Forecast impact experiment with GPS radio occultation measurements (2005, background): “English et al. [2000] note that the current bias correction scheme assumes that the NWP output is unbiased because the assimilation of radiosondes measurements prevents the analyses ‘‘drifting’’.”
