- Zusatztext
- Since the last few decades, meteorological satellites have become indispensable for the investigation of the Earths atmosphere. The accuracy of the atmospheric fields, such as the temperature and humidity, are vital in the simulation of space-time distribution of precipitation using numerical models. This book explores the role of satellite observations in the prediction of the future state of atmosphere accurately. The study also outlines the strength and weakness of different satellite data sources. The utilisation of sophisticated techniques for improved data assimilation methods and availability of newer and better satellite observations will definitely lead to a new era in the field of numerical weather prediction
