CMs:Stau (Alps) Lee waves
Snow • MTP channels in comparison with the
corresponding MSG channels• CM Stau: IR image + relevant NWP parameters
• MSG additional channels + Channel combinations

MTP: VIS
Stau

Snow
As the image time between MTP and MSG differs, a shift between the cloud systems can be noticed in the two images

Snow
Looks relatively similar;but: somewhat coarse space resolutionbest seen at lee waves ;much better recognition of vegetationas in Ch01

Snow
Sharper contours throughimproved space resolution;especially well seen at lee waves;lee waves are better discernable in IR;relative high, cold cloud tops ?

Stau
Lee waves
Snow
Sharper contours and more detailed grey-shadesthrough improved space resolution in IR and additional information from 2 different VIS channels;less resolution for lee waves from the VIS channels

MSG: CH05
Drying by sinking airat lee side; no (nearly no) lee cloud visible; no radiation fromfarther below

MSG: CH06
Lee waves
In CH06 are lee waves visible:radiation from lower levels reachthe satellite
