  1. The WMO Space Programme An Introduction to Meteorological Satellite

  2. First TIROS-1 Image April 1, 1960 The beginning of the weather satellite era Canada Nova Scotia

  3. 53+ Years Later Satellites provide high resolution digital data from a variety of spectral bands whereby both qualitative and quantitative information about the atmosphere, clouds, and land and sea surface properties are deduced Meteorological satellites provide essential data for weather forecasting to national weather services across the globe

  4. WMO space-based system of the Global Observing System Unparalleled international cooperation has been achieved in satellite activities EUMETSAT contribution

  5. Operational satellites and EUMETSAT’s contribution GOES-9 JAPAN (USA) 155°E FY-1D (CHINA) Metop-A (EUMETSAT) MTSAT-1R (JAPAN) 140°E GOES-W (USA) 135°W Jason-2 (NASA-NOAACNES-EUM) GOES-N (USA) 90°W INSAT (INDIA) 93.5°E FY-2A (CHINA) 86.5°E GOES-E (USA) 75°W NOAA (USA) GOMS (RUSSIA) 76°E METEOR (RUSSIA) KALPANA-1 (INDIA) 74°E Meteosat-9 (EUMETSAT) 0° Longitude Meteosat-8 (EUMETSAT) 0° Longitude Meteosat-6 (EUMETSAT) 67°E Meteosat-7 (EUMETSAT) 57°E

  6. Status of the space-based component GOS • Standing members • operational satellite operators, e.g. NOAA, EUMETSAT • Recent new members (R&D), e.g. • NASA – Aqua, Terra, NPP, TRMM, QuickScat • ESA – ERS 1 and 2, ENVISAT • FSA –METEOR 3M N1 (R&D inst), OKEAN series • CNES – Jason-1, SPOT-5 • IMD – INSAT series • Possible future members

  7. Meteosat Series • Operational history Meteosat First Generation: • Meteosat-1 1977-October 1979 * • Meteosat-2 1981-1991 • Meteosat-3 1988-1995 • Meteosat-4 1989-1995 • Meteosat-5 1991-2007 • Meteosat-6 1993-2006 • Meteosat-7 1997-2013 * Due to a radiometer problem the imaging stopped and the satellite was only used for data dissemination

  8. Meteosat Series Operational history of Meteosat Second Generation : • Meteosat-8 2003-2006 (MSG-1) • Meteosat-9 2006- 2014 (MSG-2)

  9. METEOSAT-1 to 7 Meteosat First Generation (MFG) • Vis & IR Imager • 3 Spectral Channels • Images every 30 Minutes • 5 km horizontal ‘Sampling Distance’ • VIS-Channel 2.5 km

  10. Channels of First Generation METEOSAT

  11. VIS, IR & WV channelsof Meteosat First Generation

  19. Most useful channels and combinations TC Gonu, 4 June 2007 08:00UTC day only 24 hours

  20. Monitoring of Tropical Cyclones Using MSG • IR10.8 to get info on cloud top temperature/height • HRVIS to see detailed structures • NIR1.6 and IR3.9 (solar component) to get information on phase and particle size • IR3.9 - IR10.8 to find areas with most intense development/precipitation • RGB 01/03/09 (Day) or RGB 01/04/09 (Day) and RGB 10-09/09-04/09 (Night) to monitor cloud types and convective development • RGB 05-06/04-09/03-01 to monitor convective development
