  1. Support of AMMA and Radagast from CM-SAF R. Hollmann, J. Schulz Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facility Deutscher Wetterdienst Offenbach, Germany

  3. Motivation: climate monitoring • To assess current climate for infrastructure planning; • To assess climate variability and detect change of mean state and variability; • To support the development of climate models by validating long range/short term climate projections; • To assess climate impacts; • To provide evidence (or not) for policy action (or not).

  4. Facts of CMSAF • Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facility (CMSAF) • Part of EUMETSAT’s ground segment for MSG, 7 further SAF exists with dedicated user groups • CMSAF next phase 2007-2012 ‘Continuous Development and operational phase’ (CDOP) • Major task in CDOP will be the (re-)processing of long-time series of satellite data • Continuation of routine products already available and addition of new improved products

  5. Clouds and sfc radiation extended area (available now!) Monthly mean values February 2007 Fractional cloud cover Solar radiation at surface

  6. Precipitable Water and Surface Temperature 1 July 2004, 12:00 UTC LPW (850-500 hPa) LPW (<500 hPa) LPW (1000-850 hPa)

  7. Retrieval Overview • Retrieval • Vertical integrated water vapour (IWV), total + 3 layers(below 850hPa, 850-500hPa, 500-200hPa) • Surface temperature • Clear-sky only • Data used • SEVIRI IR channels • Radiosondes for static background and determination of covariance • No additional NWP data (stand-alone product) • Method • Optimal estimation technique • Find most likely state vector • Gauss-Newton method (problem is not too non-linear)

  26. Summary • CM-SAF has build a data processing system for water vapour – cloud – radiation products using several polar and geostationary instruments that allows for reprocessing of large data volumes; • Usefulness of near real time integrated products depends largely on the stability of the calibration. Currently, some are only usable for sub-seasonal analysis. • Extra European validation of CMSAF SRB data with AMMA ARM-measurements gives small differences.

  27. Summary II • Operational validation of surface radiation budget products show a good agreement with surface observations (MAB SW < 5 W/m², LW < 10 W/m²) • The next CMSAF phase will see integration of long time series for core products based on inter- and recalibrated radiances, e.g. Patmos-X AVHRR and UTH Meteosat exercises;
