Influences of 1DVAR Background Covariances and Observation Operators on Retrieving Tropical Cyclone Thermal Structures

Spaceborne passive microwave sounding instruments are important for monitoring tropical cyclones (TCs) over oceans. However, previous studies have found large retrieval errors at TCs’ inner region at the lower troposphere where heavy precipitation occurs. In this study, the background error covarian...
