Influence of radiosonde observations on the sharpness and altitude of the midlatitude tropopause in the ECMWF IFS
<p>Initial conditions of current numerical weather prediction systems insufficiently represent the sharp vertical gradients across the midlatitude tropopause. Data assimilation may provide a means to improve tropopause structure by correcting the erroneous background forecast towards the obser...
