METO: Data assimilated operationally. METEO-FRANCE: Assimilated operationally. DWD: Data assimilated operationally.. Requirement Yes in real time at a half-hourly frequency. Access and timeliness data including humidity where available (e.g. AMDAR etc) Availability Received and used operationally. Usage and ECMWF: Used and assimilated. 70 km thinning applied, one data per model level. plans (by EUMETSAT: when) METO: All available data received, assimilated operationally with a thinning to one report in a 4D box of 100km x 100km x 50hPa x 2hrs. METEO-FRANCE: No studies on humidity observations DWD: Used and assimilated. Activities to use humidity observations. Requirement Yes. Humidity observations are required. Access and timeliness Tropical cyclone data Availability Received in tabular and BUFR form on GTS. ( New Delhi issue Storm warning in plain language). and ECMWF: BUFR messages received from METO are used in EPS targeting. plans (by EUMETSAT: when) METO: Currently use BUFR format bulletins issued by NCEP and plain text TC advisories from NHC, Miami. The former are used in preference to the latter when available. No longer used to create bogus observations for assimilation but still used for validation and in other applications. METEO-FRANCE: These data are used operationally in the ALADIN-Réunion regional model and for other ALADIN overseas domains to create bogus information. DWD: Requirement Yes, any machineable form, preferably BUFR and enhanced to include radii of Access and stronger winds when applicable. timeliness Snow cover analysis Availability NESDIS dataset is available via the Internet at 25 km and 4 km resolution. A product for the S. Hemisphere is also available.
