AIRS RET improves location and intensity also at subsequent times; FORECASTS from the improved analyses are much superior.

Radiances Very weak System, low Vorticity Retrievals Much higher (100%) Vorticity Retrievals: Realistic 2-band structure comparing well with satellite Radiances: very poor structure: Two unconnected convective systems without a deep circulation
