GOP7: Satellite data.

Crewell, Susanne

Experiment
Summary
Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), MODIS and MERIS observations will by available by
implementing a near real time (NRT) processing. This will provide an excellent overview of
the current weather situation, on a larger scale and for the GOP and COPS area. The information is
online (http://wew.met.fu-berlin.de/nrt) with a delay of 2 hours. The SEVIRI instrument on MSG
with its 11 spectral channels from 0.6 to 14 micrometer will be the prime instrument. The calibrated satellite data are processed automatically to provide higher-order, level 2 products, such as
water vapor and cloud top pressure. SEVIRI products will be adopted to monitor atmospheric
products at meteorological stations within the LMK domain, e.g. Cabauw and Lindenberg, but
also at COPS experimental sites, MAP stations and Berlin. In addition to the production of time
series, averages of selected regions will be compared to LMK output on a regular, operational
basis. Depending on the status of the upcoming satellites CLOUDSAT, CALIPSO, and METOP 1,
other satellites might be utilized for validation purposes. Special observations with high resolution about stability indices will be available through EUMETSAT.
