The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The ERA5 global reanalysis (2020, methodology): “Humidity information throughout the troposphere is obtained from passive microwave observations, for most sensors using the all-sky approach (Geer et al., 2017).”
Can deep learning beat numerical weather prediction? (2021, background): “While in situ observations (weather stations and radiosondes) have a long history in observing the Earth’s atmosphere, fundamental improvements in the spatiotemporal coverage of observations has been achieved with the help of satellite data over recent decades (e.g [23]).”
