Abstract: The extraction of atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) from cloud and moisture features from successive geostationary satellite images is an established and important data source for numerical weather prediction (NWP). So far ...

Abstract: The coverage and quality of atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) derived from geostationary satellite imagery have improved considerably over the past few years. This is due not only to the deployment of the new generation ...

Abstract: Low-level wind fields over the Atlantic have been derived from clouds in Meteosat high-resolution visible images experimentally with one production cycle per day over a period of more than 1 yr. The cloud motion winds from ...

Abstract: The evolving constellation of environmental/meteorological satellites and their associated sensor technology is rapidly advancing. This is providing opportunities for creatively improving satellite-derived products used ...

Abstract: The displacement of clouds in successive satellite images reflects the atmospheric circulation at various scales. The main application of the satellite-derived cloud-motion vectors is their use as winds in the data analysis ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results from a collaborative study between the European Space Operations Center, the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...
