Limb sounding instruments provide high vertical resolution data on the temperature and composition of the atmosphere. Their data are, therefore, valuable for assimilating into general circulation models of the atmosphere. Direct assimilation of radiances from limb sounders is more complex in practice than from nadir sounders due to the need to know the tangent pressures of the measurements. This paper...
