This paper presents the functionality of the fast Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) for the analysis and validation of MTVZA-GYa (Imaging/Sounding Microwave Radiometer) measurements on board the Meteor-M satellite series. The main aspects of calculating and adding weighting coefficients to CRTM to quickly calculate atmospheric transmittance coefficients in MTVZA-GYa channels are presented. The computational performance and accuracy of calculations of MTVZA-GYa measurements were assessed using the example of comparison with the fast radiation transfer model RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for TOVS). According to the results of comparison of simulated values of brightness temperatures obtained using CRTM and RTTOV, the average error in the MTVZA-GYa channels does not exceed 2K. The functionality of CRTM allows not only to simulate measurements in the MTVZA-GYa channels, but also to calculate weighting functions and Jacobians. Thus, CRTM is an excellent tool for developing methods for solving inverse problems of microwave radiation transfer in the atmosphere in order to obtain various types of information products. In addition, the experience gained in calculating the weighting coefficients will make it possible in the future to implement functionality for modeling measurements in the channels of any Russian satellite instruments.
