Short summary
Thermodynamic fields retrieved from orbiting infrared sounders use a
derived set of measurements as their starting point, rather than the
actual observations. This leads to problems with noise and
sampling. We have developed a fast accurate model with a simple
vertical representation of clouds in the atmosphere for use in
retrievals, which allows us to use all the actual low-noise
measurements at full resolution. These should eventually help produce
more accurate weather forecasts.
Thermodynamic fields retrieved from orbiting infrared sounders use a
