NWCSAF 2014 Users’ Survey. MSG part
NWCSAF/MSG Products that could cover Users’ needs:
o Icing
oUse of other MTG instruments e.g. Lightning sensor to improve RDT
oDiscrimination between convective and non-convective cloud pixels
oPossibility to use other cloud products (like EUMETSAT OCA), to improve the HRW quality (e.g. height assignment)
oConvection Initiation
oConvection Warning
oCloud Microphysics
oASII-NG

Use of MSG RSS images to run NWCSAF software

Yes
No
Coments:• Plans to do preoperational test with RSS data• RSS is essential in NWC• It’s planned• Only used for case studies• Suggestion to make a “mixed” method that runs every 15 min but taking advantage of the information of RSS images
