Short summary
China’s Fengyun-4M, planned for launch in late 2026, will be the first geostationary satellite to carry a passive microwave instrument, opening a new era of weather observation. To better use its more than one hundred channels, we developed a retrieval method and an optimized channel setup for all-sky temperature profile retrieval over ocean. The results indicate that this algorithm shows low errors while reducing computing time, which is a preferred choice for future operational use.
