Abstract Some applications of satellite radiance data in the medium range weather forecasting environment are described. In the first, data is used as a proxy for rainfall rates, which may be used for diabatic initialization of the model. The second uses the data to study the behaviour of the parametrized radiation scheme within the forecast model. Finally there is an example of a verification of the integrity of the analyses by a comparison of observed and inferred radiances.
