Thus it is possible to compare the performance of VHRR and MVIRI in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. In order to do so, the impact of Kalpana- and Meteosat-7-measured WV radiances was evaluated using analyses and forecasts of moisture, temperature, geopotential and winds, using the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) NWP model. Compared with experiments using Meteosat-7, the experiments using Kalpana WV radiances show a similar fit to all observations and produce very similar forecasts.
