- Abstract
Describes the benefits of using rainfall and total precipitable water (TPW) information derived from instruments in global data assimilation with observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager and two Special Sensor Microwave/Imager instruments. Importance of addressing deficiencies in model physics in assimilating data types such as precipitation; Potential of using rainfall and TPW information.
