Random errors between systems are not correlated is a necessary assumption for Triple Collocation (TC) analysis, but this assumption does not always hold in practice. The least squares-based Extended Collocation (EC) method can estimate random error in the presence of error correlation, but it cannot accurately estimate standard deviation (SD) of the random error as error correlation is weak. This paper proposes an error estimation method for the fourth system using three error-independent systems, which can estimate the SD of the system error more accurately in case of weak correlation by considering both error correlation and representative error. The SD of the errors of the scatterometer, radiometer and altimeter are 0.600 m/s, 0.742 m/s and 0.533 m/s respectively, as assumed that random errors of three HY-2B wind speed products are independent. The SD of error of ERA5 reanalysis wind speed is also estimated to be 0.810 m/s, the correlation coefficient of the errors of wind speed between HY-2B scatterometer and the ERA5 is 0.231, the correlation coefficient of the errors of wind speed between HY-2B radiometer and the ERA5 is 0.105. This paper proposes a method to estimate random errors and their correlation with the fourth dataset using three known error independent datasets, which achieves a more precise estimation for the SD of the random error in the case of weak correlation, and it helps to use these data better in assimilation and fusion.
