Meteosat Indian Ocean Downward Longwave Irradiance
Demonstrational Near real time productEstimation of the downward longwave irradiance reaching the Earth surface derived from SEVIRI data on board the geostationary satellite Meteosat. The product is remapped onto a 0.05° regular grid and expressed in W/m2.
Identification
Acronym : MET IO DLI
OSI SAF producer : Météo-France
Identifier : OSI-IO-DLI
Citation : See at bottom
Characteristics
Processing level : L3
Satellite input : Meteosat-8/SEVIRI
Other input : ECMWF outputs (temperature, humidity and aerosols profiles)
Temporal sampling : 24 per day + 1 per day
Timeliness :
?
The timeliness is the time elapsing from the sensing time of the last contributing file to the product dissemination to users. It is similar to the latency.
2 h
Spatial coverage : East Atlantic, West Indian: 60N-60S 18.5W-101.5E
Spatial sampling : 0.05° Lat-Lon
File Formats : LML FTP Server (NetCDF4)
Characteristics & methods : Algorithm is a bulk parametrization that uses NWP model outputs to calculate a clear sky Downward Longwave Irradiance (DLI), corrected according to satellite derived cloud information. The hourly product is interpolated at rounded UT hours, by a pixel dependant temporal interpolation between two consecutive satellite images. The value in the daily product is the integration of all the hourly values in the UT day.
