The following METimage geophysical products will be generated and validated by EUMETSAT:
This paper focuses on the validation activities planned for the METimage geophysical products to ensure they meet user requirements for the lifetime of the mission. The validation of level 2 variables relies on the availability of simultaneous and independent data providing the same information on the same horizontal scale. Validation methods include intercomparisons with other validated missions through simultaneous nadir overpasses (both low Earth orbit and geostationary), comparisons with ground based observations, and short term weather forecasts. The level 2 product performance will be validated with respect to user requirements for all geographic regions and seasonal variation. |
