  3. User Priorities on MTG Missions MTG information on the ‘fast’ component of the hydrological cycle will improve warnings on the location and intensity of severe storm hazards, The MTG enhanced information on convective/non-convective events, critical weather situations (~ fog, sand/dust storms, icing,..), fires, volcanic ash eruptions will allow surpassing present capabilities to provide warnings to the community, MTG information on horizontally, vertically, and temporally (4-D) resolved gradients of moisture, wind, and temperature is expected to deliver a breakthrough regarding precipitation forecasts via assimilation into advanced non-hydrostatic regional models. MTG information on carbon monoxide and ozone in the troposphere (IRS and UVN) and nitrous oxides generated by lightning will be a significant contribution to atmospheric chemistry and air quality applications, MTG information on location and intensity of lightning will support warnings on lightning strikes for aviation and surface related business.

  6. MTG Provides a Total of Five Missions Compliant to the User Needs • The Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) = Full Disk High Spectral resolution Imagery (FDHSI), global scales (Full Disk) over a BRC = 10 min, with 16 channels at spatial resolution of 1 km (8 solar channels) and 2 km (8 thermal channels) High spatial Resolution Fast Imagery (HRFI), local scales (1/4th of Full Disk) over a BRC = 2.5 min with 4 channels at high spatial resolution 0.5 km (2 solar channels), and 1.0 km (2 thermal channels) InfraRedSounding (IRS), global scales (Full Disk) over a BRC = 30 min at spatial resolution of 4 km, providing hyperspectral soundings at 0.625 cm-1 sampling in two bands. Lightning Imagery (LI), global scales (80% of Full Disk) detecting and mapping continuously the optical emission of cloud-to-cloud and cloud-ground discharges. Detection efficiency between DE=90% (night) and DE=40% (overhead sun) UVN Sounding, implemented as GMES Sentinel 4 Instruments provided by ESA

  7. Spectral Spatial Radiometric Coverage Two spectral ranges: LWIR: 700 -1210cm-1 MWIR: 1600 -2175cm-1 Extended range (reduced performance): 680cm-1 to 2250cm-1 4 Local Area Coverage (LAC) zones 1 LAC every 15minutes Full Earth in one hour (see next slides) 180 to 313K Resolution 0.625cm-1 4km at SSP such to meet the NEDT spec Accuracy and stability such that the equivalent radiometric error is (roughly) below 50mK Accuracy : 2Km Stability : 0.5Km (3 sigma) Accuracy : 0.5K Long term stability : 0.3K Medium term stability : 0.1K NEDT : 0.2-0.5K The Infrared Sounder • Heritage : • A LEO IR sounder (IASI) is currently operated by Eumetsat • Another LEO IR sounder (CrIS) is going to be launched by NASA as part of the NPP payload (launch in late 2011) • The NASA/GIFTS concept

  8. MTG-IRS Concept: Every 30 Minutes Europe MTG-IRS Operations Scenario LAC -4 • ~ 300 stares for Full Disc Coverage ~ 75 stares Local Area Coverage (LAC) LAC-1/2/3/4 repeat cycle: 15 min including 2-3 min for calibration Basic Repeat Cycle Pattern over 6 hours: 5 times LAC-3 plus LAC-4 4 times LAC-2 plus LAC-4 3 times LAC-1 plus LAC-4 LAC-4 (Europe) covered every 30 min all LACs have at least 3 consecutive measurements with 30 min repeat cycle LAC -3 LAC -2 LAC -1

  9. Earth Interferogram time L0 Detection element L1 processing Dwell L0 L1 wave number Spectral sounding IRS working principle • The instrument works in a step-and-stare mode, with the Earth disc covered through a sequence of contiguous square sub-images • With the current design, each sub-image (a dwell) takes 10s and covers about 650x650km2 (at SSP, the sampling being equiangular) • Within a single dwell, a set of interferograms, one per detection element, is produced • A spectral sounding is the result of the Fourier transformation of an interferogram from a single detection element

  10. MTG MissionsIRS – Benefits Summary The IRS (30 min repeat cycle over Europe) will fill large spatial and temporal voids in the 12-hour time standard radiosonde observations and will allow time and space interpolation of moisture/temperature observations taken from the polar orbit. The IRS derived information on low tropospheric moisture and its changes in time is expected to lead to a better depiction of the hydrological cycle in models, potentially providing better precipitation forecast. The IRS will provide information on vertically resolved atmospheric motion vectors with improved height assignment, which in particular is beneficial for the tropical areas having only a weak coupling between the dynamic and thermodynamic atmospheric fields. The IRS will provide information to identify pre-convective situations supporting NWC applications to forecast convective initiation. IRS will support forecasting pollution and monitoring of atmospheric minor constituents through its capability to provide estimates of diurnal variations of tropospheric contributions of atmospheric trace gases as O3 and CO.

The argument is that the funding for Sentinel 4 is from European • countries for European issues .It is clearly necessary to measure over the • African continent to assess biomass burning, the transport of dessert • dust, tropical urban pollution etc.

  20. Conclusion: some thoughts • - Good interaction between agencies/scientific/industry is mandatory • Stephen Tjemkes (Eumetsat): “We arrived at the instrument specs because we had an excellent science team who performed in depth studies and were involved from the beginning. What could have been improved was the relation with the industrial team. In the end good communication between the science and the engineering team is critical. “ • Budget is always a concern. Compromises were made. • The needs of the met. community are driving the instrumental specs. Good collaboration with ESA through the GMES project. • But see what we can do with IASI. Take the good side of it: continuity of obs., good spatial res, operational and NRT. • Usefullness for chemistry and episodic episodes • Higher probability to have clear pixels and also better timing for chemistry (time of day + thermal contrast), or episodic events is better. If S/N not high enough to detect some species we could average pixels (see talk tomorrow).
