4 Recent Developments EURO_HRM Model Operational introduction of AMSU-A radiance assimil. RTTOV 7.1 model in forward and T.L. mode AMSU A channels 5-10 over sea Rain contamination check: |Tobs-Tfg|ch4 < 1.5K (Gerard,2003) Scan position dependent bias correction 200 km thinning EWGLAM - SRNWP, Ljubljana 3-5 October 2005

5 Recent Developments EWGLAM - SRNWP, Ljubljana 3-5 October 2004

6 Recent Developments EURO_LM Model  Introduction of prognostic precipitation  New 7-level soil model EWGLAM - SRNWP, Ljubljana 3-5 October 2005

7 Current Developments Use of AMSU-A radiances over land Introduction of 3h assimilation cycle Experimentation with hybrid EnKF – 3DVar approach EWGLAM - SRNWP, Ljubljana 3-5 October 2005

8 Current Developments Increase of EURO-HRM horizontal resolution to  14Km Increase of EURO-LM horizontal resolution to  2.5Km EURO-HRM and EURO-LM will be time critical applications at ECMWF EWGLAM - SRNWP, Ljubljana 3-5 October 2005
