This study evaluates the in-orbit performances of these two instruments and compares them with similar instruments onboard FY-3E and NOAA-20 satellites. It is found that the polarization of FY-3F MWHS at channel 1 is different from FY-3E from the quasi-horizontal to quasi-vertical, whereas the rest of the channels are revised to quasi-horizontal polarization. FY-3F MWTS performance at the upper air channels is, in general, better than FY-3E MWTS, with 0.3 K smaller in biases (O-B) and 0.13 K lower in standard deviation. The striping noise between FY-3E and 3F MWHS is similar in magnitude for most of the channels. The FY-3F can form a satellite constellation with the FY-3E and NOAA-20, enabling better monitoring of many weather events, such as typhoons and hurricanes, through the use of all three satellites. Using the Global-Scene Dependent Atmospheric Retrieval Testbed (GSDART), Typhoon Yagi warm cores are retrieved from both MWTS\/MWHS and ATMS. It is shown the warm core structures of Typhoon Yagi are consistent with the three satellites in terms of their magnitudes and locations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16234546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]],"date-time":"2024-12-04T06:38:25Z","timestamp":1733294305000},"page":"4546","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluations of Microwave Sounding Instruments Onboard FY-3F Satellites for Tropical Cyclone Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Zhe","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing & Geomatics Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Fuzhong","family":"Weng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre (CEMC), China Meteorological Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2049-7678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre (CEMC), China Meteorological Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4095-3765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre (CEMC), China Meteorological Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9158-4328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre (CEMC), China Meteorological Administration, Beijing 100081, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s00376-021-1304-7","article-title":"FY-3E: The First Operational Meteorological Satellite Mission in an Early Morning Orbit","volume":"39","author":"Zhang","year":"2022","journal-title":"Adv.
