  1. SATREP Online Jarno Schipper – Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik, Austria. Vesa Nietosvaara – Finnish Met Institute, Finland

  2. SATellite REPort • A method of deriving a thorough view of the actual weather using: • satellite imagery • model data • observations

  3. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models

  4. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models • Appearance in satellite image

  5. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models • Appearance in satellite image • Physical background

  6. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models • Appearance in satellite image • Physical background • Key parameters

  7. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models • Appearance in satellite image • Physical background • Key parameters • Weather events

  8. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models. • Appearance in satellite image • Physical background • Key parameters • Weather events • Achieving a 3D - or even 4D-mental weather picture.

  9. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models. • Appearance in satellite image • Physical background • Key parameters • Weather events. • Achieving a 3D - or even 4D-mental weather picture. • Verifying model performance.

  10. The Goal • Recognising cloud patterns in satellite images by Conceptual Models. • Appearance in satellite image • Physical background • Key parameters • Weather events. • Achieving a 3D - or even 4D-mental weather picture. • Verifying model performance. • In general, making the the use of satellite Information and NWP data more effective.

  11. History • The SatRep method first applied in the 1980s at the Austrian Meteorological Institute (ZAMG, Dr. Veronika Zwatz-Meise).

  12. History • The SatRep method first applied in the 1980s at the Austrian Meteorological Institute (ZAMG, Dr. Veronika Zwatz-Meise). • Further development with the cooperation of EUMETSAT and the Dutch (KNMI) and Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).

  13. SATREP today • Operational SatRep: • International SATREP developed every 6 hours by the 3 NMSs: FMI, KNMI and ZAMG): • Cloud systems over Europe and the Atlantic named and described
