[1] The time continuity of measurements from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) on board the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) Meteosat‐8/9 and from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on board the next generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES‐R) can be uniquely taken into account for infrared (IR) land surface emissivity (LSE) retrievals. The ...

[1] Infrared (IR) land surface emissivity (LSE) with a high temporal and spatial resolution is very important for deriving other products using IR radiance measurements as well as assimilating IR radiances in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models over land. Retrieved from various satellite instruments, many LSE databases are available for operational and research use. Most are updated only ...

Third-generation geostationary meteorological satellites (GEOs), such as Himawari-8/9 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI), Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES)-R Series Baseline (ABI), and Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Flexible Combined (FCI), provide advanced imagery atmospheric measurements of the Earth’s weather, oceans, terrestrial environments at high-frequency intervals....

Precipitation is the meteorological parameter affecting people in the most direct way. Forecasting the spatial and temporal distribution of rain and snow is therefore one of the major challenges for the meteorological services. Satellite remote sensing of precipitation could help to improve these forecasts. The most direct method to retrieve precipitation from spaceborne measurements is based o...

Cloud detection and corresponding classification are an important problem in numerical weather forecast and remote sensing in general. The present paper introduces the wavelet transform as an aid tool for solving the problem. A case study based on METEOSAT images and on an available Cloud Analysis product is considered.

Remote sensing of cloud and surface properties from different satellites requires consistent calibration of the instruments on each satellite. The unique spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions of the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) on the new Meteosat Second Generation, Meteosat-8, give it the potential for providing unprecedented scientific data, especially when com...

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...
