  1. Basics Satellite Meteorology(An Introduction to RS of MSG) Joseph Kagenyi Kenya Meteorological Department

  2. Objective • Channel properties • Signal source • Discrimination of Ice / Water/ clouds • Summary of channels applications

  3. 12 channels data RGBs • Exploiting channel combinations to understand the observation products • Making multichannel approach relevant and applicable: • (MFG) 3 channels, • (MSG) 12 channels and • (MTG) 39 channels

  4. PART 3: RECOMMENDED RED-GREEN-BLUE (RGB) COLOUR COMPOSITESFOR MONITORING CONVECTION DAY-TIME

  5. Recommended RGBs Daytime Red: Cloud depth and amount of cloud water and ice, provided by the visible reflectance at 0.6 mm. Green: Cloud particle size and phase, approximated by the 1.6 mm or 3.9 mm solar reflectance component. Blue: Temperature, provided by the 10.8 mm channel.

  6. Recommended RGBs Daytime - HRVIS Red: Cloud optical depth and detailed cloud top structures, provided by the HRVIS channel. Green: Cloud optical depth and detailed cloud top structures, provided by the HRVIS channel. Blue: Temperature, provided by 10.8 mm, or cloud particle size and phase, provided by the NIR1.6 or IR3.9 channel.

First convection* white whitewhite dark grey (first convective towers) opt thick supercooledsupercooledcold waterwater III. First icing white light grey grey black (transformation in Cb) opt thick small icesmall ice very cold IV. Large icing white dark grey black black (Cb anvils) opt thick large icelarge ice very cold *This phase is more frequent in Africa, i.e. it is more easy to find examples for this phase in tropical convection

  16. Recommended Differences IR3.9 - IR10.8 particle size, phase IR8.7 - IR10.8 optical thickness IR12.0 - IR10.8 optical thickness WV6.2 - IR10.8 overshooting tops WV6.2 - WV7.3 overshooting tops

  17. PART 3: RECOMMENDED RED-GREEN-BLUE (RGB) COLOUR COMPOSITESFOR MONITORING CONVECTION NIGHT-TIME

  18. Recommended RGBs Night-time Red: Cloud optical depth, approximated by the 12.0 - 10.8 mm or 10.8 - 8.7 brightness temperature. Green: Cloud particle size and phase, approximated by the 10.8 - 3.9 mm brightness temperature. Blue: Temperature, provided by 10.8 mm brightness temperature.

  21. summary • RGB for deep convection during day time • Day RGB149 or RGB139 • Deep Convection is also visible on - • Day Convection RGB(5-6,4-9,3-1) • At night Deep convection we use complex differencing: • Night Convection RGB (5-6,8-9, 9i) • Rgb10-9,9-4,9 • The Airmass RGB (5-6,8-9,5i) is also useful in extratropical regions
