This article is the second part of a two‐part article that uses three methods to estimate observation errors and their correlations for clear‐sky sounder radiances used in the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) assimilation system. The analysis is based on covariances derived from pairs of first‐guess and analysis departures. The methods used are the so‐called Hollingsworth/Lönnberg method, a method based on subtracting a scaled version of mapped assumed background errors from first‐guess departure covariances and the Desroziers diagnostic. The present article reports the results for the high‐spectral‐resolution Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI).
