TOWARDS THE USE OF CONSERVATIVE THERMODYNAMIC VARIABLES IN DATA ASSIMILATION: A CASE STUDY USING GROUND-BASED MICROWAVE RADIOMETER MEASUREMENTS

Towards the use of conservative thermodynamic variables in data assimilation: a case study using ground-based microwave radiometer measurements

This study aims at introducing two conservative thermodynamic variables (moist-air entropy potential temperature and total water content) into a one-dimensional variational data assimilation system (1D-Var) to demonstrate their benefits for use in future operational assimilation schemes.This system is assessed using microwave brightness temperature
