The MicroWave Humidity Sounder 2 (MWHS-2) is an important instrument onboard FengYun-3C (FY-3C), the first operational satellite in a series of the second generation of polar-orbiting operational meteorological satellites of China. MWHS-2 was designed for observing the distribution of global atmospheric thermodynamics information, and monitoring the severe convective systems such as typhoon and rainstorm in all-weather conditions. Assimilation of MWHS-2 will improve the analysis of atmospheric humidity and temperature fields required for numerical weather prediction (NWP).
