“…One field of all‐sky radiance assimilation research focuses on IR all‐sky radiances from geostationary satellite imagers. The assimilation of IR all‐sky BTs using an ensemble‐based data assimilation technique, such as ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) (Houtekamer & Zhang, 2016), has been proven to improve the forecasts of TCs (Feng & Pu, 2022; Hartman et al., 2021, 2023; Honda, Miyoshi, et al., 2018; Minamide & Zhang, 2018; F. Zhang et al., 2016, 2019), torrential rainfall (He et al., 2023; Honda, Kotsuki, et al., 2018; Okamoto et al., 2019; Otkin & Potthast, 2019), mid‐latitude convection (Chandramouli et al., 2022; Degelia et al., 2023; Eure et al., 2023; Jones et al., 2020; Sawada et al., 2019; Y. Zhang et al., 2018; L. Zhu et al., 2023), and tropical convection (Chan & Chen, 2022; Chan et al., 2022; Chan, Zhang, et al., 2020). Y. Zhang et al.…”
