Usage of NWC SAF products in IPMA

IPMA (Instituto Portugues do Mar e da Atmosfera) uses NWC SAF GEO SW package v2021.2 to process GOES and HMRW satellite data to detect clear-sky scenes which will be used in the operational production of a new versión of geo-ring land Surface Temperature dataset. This is done in the framework of the Copernicus Global Land Service. Moreover, several NWC SAF GEO MSG products (e.g. cloud top height) are used operationally by IPMA for nowcasting in several areas (e.g. aviation).

IPMA also uses NWC SAF GEO/PPS SW to process MSG, MSG-IODC and EPS to detect clear-sky conditions as a crucial input to the LSA SAF products generation. 

 

PC and PC-Ph improve the accurate Precipitation measurements.

Suitability of MSG SEVIRI as an ADB (auxiliary-data-based) comparing with CML (commercial microwave links).

It's been investigated two SEVIRI-derived products PC and PC-Ph as an ADB rain event detection method.

SEVIRI data has been compared with TSB (time-series-based) methods and it's been proven the suitability can be said it's an advantage that ADB methods don't rely on extensive validation.
