Observations depuis l'orbite géostationnaire avec Meteosat troisième génération (MTG)

The activities of the international precipitation working group

“…the US–Japan TRMM (Kummerow et al, , ), the French–Indian Megha‐Tropiques (Roca et al, ), and the US–Japan GPM (Hou et al, ; Skofronick‐Jackson et al, ). Moreover, IPWG has provided input to the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) geostationary and polar programme, in particular the design of the future Meteosat Third Generation (MTG: Stuhlmann et al, ; https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Satellites/FutureSatellites/MeteosatThirdGeneration/index.html, last accessed September 22, 2017) and the next generation of the EUMETSAT Polar System (Post EPS or EPS Second Generation; https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Satellites/FutureSatellites/EUMETSATPolarSystemSecondGeneration/index.html, last accessed September 22, 2017). The same applies to, among others, the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite‐R Series (GOES‐R: Kuligowski, Li, Hao, & Zhang, ), CloudSat and the A‐Train mission (Stephens et al, , ), and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR‐E: Kawanishi et al, ) and its follow‐on AMSR‐2 sensor on board the Japanese Global Change Observation Mission‐Water (GCOM‐W: Imaoka, Ito, & Oki, ).…”

Near-real-time rainfall detection and estimation from commercial microwave links and meteosat second generation data

“…Although their sensor specifications differ, these satellites share common characteristics; they carry VIS and IR sensors with spatial and temporal resolutions of about 1-4 km and 15-30 minutes (Kidd et al, 2010a). Planned GEO satellites missions such as EUMETSATS's MTG-I, S (Holmlund et al, 2021;Stuhlmann et al, 2017) and US's GEOS-U satellites (https://www.goes-r.gov/mission/mission.html, accessed on April 19, 2022) have more advanced atmospheric imaging and sounding capabilities with better measurement resolution than the existing ones.…”
