20 Scatterometer and microwave radiometer data Surface wind derived from QuikSCAT / SeaWinds and precipitable water (colored circle dots) and rain rate (colored square dots) derived from SSM/I and TMI. All data for 06UTC-12UTC 27 August 2004 are used in the JMA meso-scale NWP model.  From our recent experience of satellite data use, definitely a scatterometer much improves the operational NWP application as well as a microwave radiometer does.  Furthermore the benefits are magnified synergically when the two instruments are aboard a satellite together.  Continuation of QuikSCAT/SeaWinds and TRMM/TMI operations is essential in the operational NWP application.  Early launch of METOP/ASCAT and GPM core/GMI, and realization of GCOM-W/ AMSR-2 and SeaWinds are highly expected.
