Operational derivation of surface albedo and downwelling shortwave radiation based on MSG observations in the frame of the SAF programme on Land Surface Analysis

摘要

In this contribution we give a short overview of the status of the surface albedo and down-welling short-wave radiation flux products which are developed by Meteo-France in the framework of the Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis (Land-SAF). Both products are based on the 0.6μm, 0.8μm, and 1.6μm channels of the Meteosat/SEVTRI instrument and are calculated and distributed in near real time. The methodology is briefly described, product examples are shown, and first validation results are discussed.
