1. Preliminary check of observations (completeness of the reports) 2. Black listing (suspicious observations are rejected) 3. Background check against First Guess 4. Vertical consistency check (duplicated levels in multi-level reports are
removed) 5. Redundancy check (reports that are co-located and originate from
the same station are removed) 6. Thinning

• Thinning along the flight track • The reports closest to the analysis date are selected • Radius sizes (Conventional:25km, Mode-S EHS:15km,5km)

Impact experiment 18.11.2013 – 31.12.2013
Conclusions • Assimilation of Mode-S EHS observations has a positive impact • Case-study shows that wind shift timing errors can be reduced • Better verification scores in wind and temperature on short-range forecast
Outlook: • 4D VAR data assimilation
