Recent experiments performed by the satellite section have highlighted the importance of the European Metop-A and Metop-B satellites in the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). Most significantly, the new results show that the combined impact of both Metop-A and Metop-B is superior to assimilating just the instruments on Metop-A. These results are important because they support the case for maintaining both Metop satellites in tandem for as long as possible.
