We investigated various aspects of the in-orbit performance a Spinning Enhanced Visible Infra-Red Imager (SEVIRI) on Meteosat-10 (launch: 05 Jul 2012) and -11 15 2015) with images, where Mercury or Venus stood close to earth. These objects are similar smaller size than instantaneous field view, therefore they well suited for checks geometric requirements. From comparing position in different ch...

Fire behavior is well described by a fire’s direction, rate of spread, and its energy release rate. intensity as defined Byram (1959) the most commonly used term describing fire in wildfire community. It is, however, difficult to observe from space. Here, we assess spread radiative power using infrared sensors with different spatial, spectral temporal resolutions. The offer either high spatial ...

Two new developments in extracting wind information by tracking of clouds or water vapour features are increasing the spatial coverage and providing quality estimates for individual observations. The transition from low density to high density wind observations of both GOES satellites led to first experiences with increased spatial coverage in NWP centres. The relative impact of low density and...
