Abstract An attempt was made to use TOVS retrievals in the precipitation forecasting at the Hungarian Meteorological Service. Some of the retrieved parameters are indispensable for the estimation of the precipitation. The spatial resolution of the satellite soundings in many cases makes it possible to monitor precipitation systems on a meso-alpha and larger meso-beta scale. This is especially important in certain late spring synoptic situations when extra large amount of precipitation can fall on the catchment areas of the Hungarian rivers. The weaker temporal resolution of the retrievals, however, implies that ground, radar and geostationary satellite observations also have to be used. In the paper evaluation of the effect of the application of TOVS soundings upon the accuracy of the precipitation forecasting is presented on the basis of case studies.
