MTG-S/IRS data generation.
Note: this web page has been
created to allow access to animations in the presentations.
One complete web page describing the activities and case
studies will be published later.
Synthetic MTG-I/FCI, MTG-S/IRS and IASI for case studies 1st
May 2019 generated with RTTOV-13.0 are available in these links:

Synthetic MTG-S/IRS images case study 1st May 2019
Synthetic MTG-S/IRS dataset. Synthetic MTG-S/IRS BT spectra on clear
air and cloudy conditions generated using RTTOV-13.0 and using as
input ECWMF on hybrid level every 1 hour with 0.1x0.1 degrees.
Case study 2019-05-01 from 12:00Z to 23:30Z every 30 minutes on
MTG-I/FCI projection on boxes IR 2x2 (resolution 4x4km on nadir) on
MTG-I/FCI grid. Thus, the resolution of these images is similar to
theoretical IRS spatial resolution about 4x4 km (IR channels
MTG-I/FCI resolution is 2x2 km at nadir). It has been calculated
with MTG-I/FCI zenith angles.
As example is shown a loop of synthetic MTG-S/IRS nearest to IASI
channels at 695, 706, 734 and 919.5 cm-1. The wavenumbers
has been selected in CO2 branch to provide top to down
view in the atmosphere.

Synthetic MTG-S/IRS airmass RGBs generated using RTTOV-13.0 every 30
minutes on MTG-I/FCI projection at boxes IR 2x2 (resolution 4x4km on
nadir).
