The second Chinese ocean dynamic environment satellite Haiyang-2B (HY-2B), carrying a scanning microwave radiometer (SMR) to provide information on the ocean and atmosphere, was successfully launched on 25 October 2018. Before the data assimilation, it is necessary to characterize and evaluate the b...
