Description:Test analyses were produced with the NMC global analysis/forecast system using only surface reports and satellite temperature soundings. Data were assimilated over a period of 4 days using a 6-hr analysis/ forecast cycle. The final test analysis describes the major features shown on the corresponding NMC analysis but underestimates the amplitudes of disturbances and the intensity of thickness gradients. This appears to be due, at least in part, to systematic biases in the regression-derived satellite temperatures.
