• Plans for RTTOV development

The documents below are all PDF files.

• RTTOV scientific reports
  • Microwave transmittance models for RTTOV
  • ISEM-6: Infrared Surface Emissivity Model for RTTOV v6 (some figs currently missing)
  • Evaluation of the ocean microwave emissivity models: Fastem and Fastem2 & figures
  • Use of Fastem2 for the Special Sensor Microwave Imager & figures


• Other NWP SAF reports on radiative transfer
  • Gastropod - a fast radiative transfer model for AIRS and IASI
  • Fast model intercomparison study results
  • Impact of RTIASI fast radiative transfer model error on IASI retrieval accuracy
  • Vertical discretisation for advanced sounder fast radiative transfer models:
    grid refinement for RTIASI
  • An improved general fast radiative transfer model for the assimilation of radiance observations

• ECMWF NWP SAF reports
