While increased quality and quantity of data have brought unprecedented opportunities for data assimilation (DA) to improve initial conditions of mesoscale forecasts, taking full advantage of these high-resolution data, including cloud and precipitation affected weather observations is a challenge for current DA systems. We overview some key issues in the development of the effective utilization of geostationary satellite data in mesoscale forecasts., postprinnt}, pages = {1--10}, title = {Geostationary satellite data assimilation in mesoscale forecast systems : A review}, year = {2019} }
