Products: Clouds Products
Provide information on the possible occurrence of clouds within each pixel. The central aim is to delineate all absolutely cloud-free pixels in a satellite scene with a high degree of confidence
•Cloud Mask (Cma)
•Cloud Type (CT)
•Cloud Top Temperature & Height (CTTH)
The main objective of this product is to support detailed cloud analysis
Contains information on the cloud top temperature and height for all pixels identified as cloudy in the satellite scene with the highest possible spatial and temporal resolution

The EUMETSAT SAF on Nowcasting & VSRF
10
Products: Precipitation Products
•Precipitating Clouds (Pc)
•Convective Rainfall Rate (CRR)
Provides information on the probability of weak, moderate and strong precipitation
Provides the maximum level of information on convective rainfall from the SEVIRI channels
1st IPWG Workshop. Madrid 23-27 Sep 2002
The EUMETSAT SAF on Nowcasting & VSRF
11
Products: Precipitation Clouds PC
Based on SMHI’s long experience on precipitating cloud products
As output of the SCANDIA cloud classification scheme
Stadistical scheme making use of IR/VIS channel and forcing parameters from the NWP data
Channels used: VIS 0.6, VIS 0.8, NIR 1.6, IR 3.9, IR 10.8, IR 1.0
Scientific Report on www.inm.es/wwg and www.smhi.se
1st IPWG Workshop. Madrid 23-27 Sep 2002

12
Products: Convective Rainfall Rate CRR
Based on RAINSAT methodology statistical relationship between satellite (multi-band imagery) and rainfall rate data obtained using radar data.
CRR value for each pixel is obtained from calibration matrices.
Calibration matrices are different if a pixel belongs to day or night mask.
Day pixels CRR calibration data is a matrix 3-D (bands: IR10.8, WV6.2, VIS0.6.)
Night pixels calibration values are stored in a 2-D matrix (bands: IR10.8, WV6.2.)
Normalised visible counts are obtained using Binder algorithm.
Smoothing process performed to eliminate stratiform rain data -not associated with convective clouds.
The obtained CRR significant data are set to zero if all the nearest pixels in a box of 14x14 do not have an equal or higher value than 3mm/h.

Products: Clear Air Mass Products
•Total Precipitable Water (TPW)
•Layer Precipitable Water (LPW)
•Stability Air Imagery
•Air Mass Analysis
Total atmospheric water vapour in a column of air extending from the Earth's surface to the "top" of the atmosphere
Atmospheric water vapour contained in a vertical column of unit cross-sectional area in three layers in the troposphere
LI index summarising the information of the SEVIRI channels
Evaluates basic quantities that describe air masses (upper and middle level humidity, mean temperature, atmospheric stability, cloud pattern, etc) and to combine them into one integrated classification of the air mass

The EUMETSAT SAF on Nowcasting & VSRF
15
Products: Winds and Conceptual Model Products
•High Resolution Wind (HRW)
•Rapid Development Thunderstorm (RDT)
•Automated Satellite Interpretation Imagery (ASII )
Provides information on mesoscale wind vectors using data from the HRVIS channel at two spatial resolution: 25 and 10 km.
Twofold objectives: identification, monitoring and tracking of intense convective systems, and detection of rapidly developing convective cells
Provides an automatic interpretation of features seen on satellite images. Hence, the product identifies fronts, wave structures, areas of intensification at fronts by jet streak crossing, position of the jet axis, comma clouds, enhanced convection areas, etc.
