Status of AMV Assimilation in ECMWF’s IFS Model
In this poster I will give an overview of the AMV data currently assimilated operationally in ECMWF’s IFS model, and describe changes in our operational AMV usage since the previous Winds Workshop. This includes transitions in geostationary coverage to GOES-18, Himwari-9 and Meteosat-9. Changes to the Dual-Metop AMVs and a study of AMVs from Sentinel-3’s SLSTR imager will also be shown. I will explain the various quality control steps currently applied at ECMWF to select which AMVs to assimilate and assign their observation errors.
