The Meteosat Third Generation Infrared Sounder
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers only the IRS mission, for which the highest priority is on atmospheric dynamics in support to Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) at regional and global scales. This will be achieved through the provision of Atmospheric Motion Vectors (AMV), to be extracted from tracking of horizontally and vertically resolved water vapour patterns, retrieved from the hyperspectral radiances, or by direct assimilation of the radiances. In addition, it is expected that more frequent information on temperature and water vapour profiles will allow for an improved initialisation of, in particular, regional models.

Cloud mask via cumulative discriminant analysis applied to satellite infrared observations: scientific basis and initial evaluation
We introduce a classification method (cumulative discriminant analysis) of the discriminant analysis type to discriminate between cloudy and clear-sky satellite observations in the thermal infrared. The tool is intended for the high-spectral-resolution infrared sounder (IRS) planned for the geostationary METEOSAT (Meteorological Satellite) Third Generation platform and uses IASI (Infrared Atmos...

A new technique for process-oriented rain area classification using Meteosat Second Generation SEVIRI nighttime data is introduced. It is based on a combination of the Advective Convective Technique (ACT) which focuses on precipitation areas connected to convective processes and the Rain Area Delineation Scheme during Nighttime (RADS-N) a new technique for the improved detection of stratiform p...
