• Investigating AMV error characteristics — by Mary Forsythe — last modified Feb 08, 2012 09:58 AM AMVs have complicated errors, which can be problematic for maximising their impact in NWP. The biennial NWP SAF AMV monitoring analysis reports provide a useful resource for listing and investigating features observed in the O-B monitoring. Further investigations are encouraged, for example by validating AMV height assignment using the A-train, model, sonde or wind profilers.
