This article provides an overview of the contribution of the ENVISAT (ENVIronmental SATellite) observations to various components of the ECMWF assimilation and forecasting suite that form part of the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). The aim is to highlight the way in which ECMWF has exploited data from a research satellite within a Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system, and discuss the lessons learnt from a fruitful collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Furthermore, an outlook on future usage of these valuable data is also presented.
