The GERB instrument is a scanning radiometer with two broadband channels, one covering the solar spectrum (0.32 to 4.0 micron), the other covering a wider portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (0.32 to 30 micron). Together these channels are used to derive the thermal radiation emitted by the Earth in the spectral range 4.0 to 30 micron. The GERB broadband channels span the twelve much narrower channels measured by the MSG's other instrument the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI). Thus, GERB fills in the gaps in the thermal radiation spectrum missed by the SEVIRI channels. However, the GERB measures the thermal radiation at a coarser spatial resolution. RMI scientists use the finer spatial resolution of the SEVIRI data to improve the spatial resolution of the GERB images.

The ATDnet system is an automatic lightning location network capable of sensing lightning flashes over a wide and variable geographical area. The system locates lightning by timing the arrival of unique very low frequency radio waves (know as atmospherics, or simply 'sferics') generated by individual lightning strokes at the ATDnet outstations. The differences in the arrival times of these strokes at the outstations are used to calculate the lightning's location. Data are collected every minute and BUFR encoded using the 'Universal BUFR template for lightning data' with 15 minutes of data combined into one file which is then sent to EUMETSAT.

MODIS provides the unprecedented ability to measure chlorophyll fluorescence, which gives insight into the health of phytoplankton in the ocean. When phytoplankton are under stress, they no longer photosynthesise and begin to emit absorbed sunlight as fluorescence. Measurements of the chlorophyll fluorescence can be used to describe the physiological state of the phytoplankton, help to determine the cause of phytoplankton bloom collapses and help to make more robust estimates of primary productivity on a global scale.

Atmopsheric motion vectors (AMVs) are a valuable observation type for providing dynamical information for forecast models. They are produced by tracking clouds or gradients in water vapour through successive satellite images. AMVs have been assimilated in forecast models since the 1980s. Traditionally they are generated using imagery from geostationary satellites, which monitor a constant region of the Earth. AMVs are produced at several centres including EUMETSAT in Europe, NESDIS in the USA, JMA in Japan, CMA in China and IMD in India.

The FRPGRID product contains an hourly estimation of the FRP at one degree resolution and includes several correction factors. The Fire Radiative Power product (FRP, in MWatts) provides information on the measured radiant heat output of detected fires. It has been demonstrated in small-scale experimental fires that the amount of radiant heat energy liberated per unit time (the Fire Radiative Power) is related to the rate at which fuel is being consumed [1]. This is a direct result of the combustion process, whereby carbon-based fuel is oxidised to CO2 with the release of a certain 'heat yield'. Therefore, measuring this FRP and integrating it over the lifetime of the fire provides an estimate of the total Fire Radiative Energy (FRE), which for wildfires should be proportional to the total mass of fuel biomass combusted.

Downwelling Surface Longwave Radiation Flux (DSLF)is the result of atmospheric absorption, emission and scattering within the entire atmospheric column and may be defined as the thermal irradiance reaching the surface in the thermal infrared spectrum (4-100mm). In clear sky situations DSLF depends on the vertical profiles of temperature and gaseous absorbers (primarily the water-vapour followed by CO2, and others of smaller importance like O3, CH4, N2O and CFCs). DSLF is directly related to the greenhouse effect and its monitoring has an important role in climate change studies. Other applications include meteorology (land applications) and oceanography (air-sea-ice interaction studies).

Evapotranspiration (ET) accounts for the flux of water evaporated at the Earth-atmosphere interface (from soil, water bodies and interception) and transpired by vegetation through stomata in its leaves as a consequence of photosynthetic processes. ET is an important component of the water cycle and it is associated with the latent heat flux (LE), a key link between the energy and water cycles. In other words, LE represents the energy needed for the ET process. Evaluating energy fluxes at the Earth surface is of great importance in many disciplines like weather forecasting, global climate monitoring, water management, agriculture and ecology. The ET product contains instantaneous values of evapotranspiration (in mm/h) plus an associated quality flag. ET output is generated in HDF5 format and relevant information for data processing is included in the HDF5 file attributes. Currently ET maps are generated every 30 minutes for the European window with the MSG spatial resolution.

The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is the ratio of total upper leaf surface of vegetation divided by the surface area of the land on which the vegetation grows. LAI is strongly non-linearly related to reflectance, and its estimation from remote sensing observations is thus strongly scale dependant. When observing a canopy made of different layers of vegetation, it is therefore mandatory to consider all the green layers. This is particularly important for forest canopies where the understory may represent a very significant contribution to the total canopy LAI. LAI represents the size of the interface between the plant and the atmosphere for energy and mass exchanges. It is thus of prime interest for energy balance, photosynthesis, transpiration and litter production.

The Day Microphysics RGB (Red, Green, Blue) was inherited from Rosenfeld and Lensky (1998): the VIS0.8 reflectance in red approximates the cloud optical depth and amount of cloud water and ice; the IR3.9 solar reflectance in green is a qualitative measure for cloud particle size and phase, and the IR10.8 brightness temperature modulates the blue. This color scheme is useful for cloud analysis, convection, fog, snow, and fires. In this colour scheme water clouds that do not precipitate appear white because cloud drops are small, whereas large drops that are typical to precipitating clouds appear pink, because of the low reflectance at IR3.9 manifested as low green. Supercooled water clouds appear more yellow, because the lower temperature that modulate the blue component. Cold and thick clouds with tops composed of large ice particles, e.g., Cb tops, appear red. Optically thick clouds with small ice particles near their tops appear orange.

The prime objective of the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) is to measure wind speed and direction over the oceans, and the main operational application is the assimilation of ocean winds in NWP models. Other operational applications, based on the use of measurements of the backscattering coefficient, are sea ice edge detection and monitoring, monitoring sea ice, snow cover, soil moisture and surface parameters. This product consists of geo-located radar backscatter values along the six ASCAT beams. The different beam measurements are not collocated into a regular swath grid and the individual measurements are not spatially averaged. The resolution of each of the 255 backscatter values per each beam varies slightly along the beam, but it is approximately 10km (in the along beam direction) x 25 km (across the beam). This product is usually referred to as 'ASCAT Level 1B Full resolution product'. Note that some of the data are reprocessed. Please refer to the associated product validation reports or product release notes for further information.

The Earth Radiation budget is made up of the incoming solar flux and the outgoing Top-of-the-Atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes. The outgoing radiative fluxes consist of the reflected part of the incoming solar flux, as well as the thermal flux emitted by the Earth-atmosphere system. The thermal flux is often referred to as Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR). The OLR is a very important parameter for the Earth's radiation budget study as well as for weather/climate model validation purposes. Variations in the OLR reflect the response of the Earth-atmosphere system to solar diurnal forcing. Those variations can be found in particular in surface temperature, cloud cover, cloud top height, and related quantities like precipitation. The OLR is therefore well suited for validation of global circulation models (GCMs) simulating the diurnal cycle, as it constitutes the combination of different modelaspects. The algorithm required to create this product is available in the Product Factsheet (see Online Resources or Distribution).

The ALBEDO product corresponds to the amount of solar energy reflected by a surface and provides information on the radiative balance, thus on temperature and water balance. The required quantity for these models is the spectrally integrated albedo over 300-3000 nm spectral domain also called broadband albedo . The spectral albedo corresponds to hemispherical reflectance of the canopy, i.e. the bidirectional reflectance integrated over the hemisphere with regards of the view directions. The albedo is one of the most interesting variable required as a primary input for global circulation models used to forecast short term weather and long term climatic change. It is also mandatory for local to regional estimates of energy and mass exchanges between the earth surface and the atmosphere as described by soil vegetation atmosphere transfer models (SVAT).

Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC) defines an important structural property of a plant canopy, which corresponds to the complement to unity of the gap fraction at nadir direction, accounting for the amount of vegetation distributed in a horizontal perspective. FVC is related with the partition between soil and vegetation contribution for emissivity and temperature. This property is necessary for describing land surface processes and surface parameterisation schemes used for climate and weather forecasting. Besides, the FVC is relevant for a wide range of Land Biosphere Applications such us agriculture and forestry, environmental management and land use, hydrology, natural hazards monitoring and management, vegetation-soil dynamics monitoring, drought conditions and fire scar extent.

Land application products for Central Africa from OSFAC (Observatoire Satellital des Forêts d'Afrique Centrale). Landsat L1T (terrain corrected) data from the Landsat 7 satellite. The Level 1T (L1T) data product provides systematic radiometric and geometric accuracy by incorporating ground control points, while also employing a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for topographic accuracy. Geodetic accuracy of the product depends on the accuracy of the ground control points and the resolution of the DEM used. All Landsat 7 scenes collected since May of 2003 have data gaps. Although the scenes have only 78 percent of their pixels, these data are still some of the most geometrically and radiometrically accurate of all civilian satellite data in the world.

The Natural Color RGB (Red, Green, Blue) makes use of three solar channels: VIS0.6, VIS0.8 and NIR1.6. In this color scheme vegetation appears greenish because of its large reflectance in the VIS0.8 channel (the green beam) compared to the NIR1.6 (red beam) and VIS0.6 (blue beam) channels. Water clouds with small droplets have large reflectance at all three channels and hence appear whitish, while snow and ice clouds appears cyan because ice strongly absorbs in NIR1.6 (no red). Bare ground appears brown because of the larger reflectance in the NIR1.6 than at VIS0.6, and the ocean appears black because of the low reflectance in all three channels.

MODIS and AVHRR data are used to retrieve tropospheric winds (speed, direction, and height) in the polar regions by tracking cloud and water vapour features. Much of this information cannot be generated fast enough for use in early NWP model runs due to the delay in obtaining MODIS and AVHRR data (typically 1-4 hrs). To improve the timeliness of the wind data, direct broadcast (DB) sites provide real-time access to water vapour winds (wvap) bufr files from MODIS data, as well as IR cloud-drift winds (cdft) bufr files from both MODIS and AVHRR data.

The Fire Radiative Power product (FRP, in megawatts) provides information on the measured radiant heat output of detected fires. It has been demonstrated in small-scale experimental fires that the amount of radiant heat energy liberated per unit time (the Fire Radiative Power) is related to the rate at which fuel is being consumed. This is a direct result of the combustion process, whereby carbon-based fuel is oxidised to CO2 with the release of a certain heat yield. Therefore, measuring this FRP and integrating it over the lifetime of the fire provides an estimate of the total Fire Radiative Energy (FRE), which for wildfires should be proportional to the total mass of fuel biomass combusted. Geostationary observations allow high temporal frequency FRP measurements, and thus a much-improved ability to estimate FRE via temporal integration when compared to the far less-frequent observations made from systems in low-Earth orbit. The FRP product is derived every 15 min at the native SEVIRI pixel resolution. The disseminated product includes for each processed pixel, the FRP (MW), the corresponding uncertainty in the FRP retrieval based on the variability of the background radiance estimation, and a confidence measure (representing the level of confidence that the observation is indeed a true fire). Applications: The FRP product is intended to support emerging operational atmosphere and climate-related applications, such as Air quality forecasting, Carbon cycle assessment and modelling, and Fire activity models.

The Surface Soil Moisture L2 product is derived from the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) data and given in swath geometry. This product provides an estimate of the water saturation of the 5 cm topsoil layer, in relative units between 0 and 100 [%]. The algorithm used to derive this parameter is based on a linear relationship of soil moisture and scatterometer backscatter and uses change detection techniques to eliminate the contributions of vegetation, land cover and surface topography, considered invariant from year to year. Seasonal vegetation effects are modelled by exploiting the multiple viewing capabilities of ASCAT. The processor has been developed by the Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing of the Vienna University of Technology. Note that some of the data are reprocessed. Please refer to the associated product validation reports or product release notes for further information.

A DevCoCast product, the current fire danger rating model used in parts of South Africa is an adaptation of a Fire Hazard Index developed by Michael Laing in Zimbabwe in 1968. The basic model uses the same inputs as the McArthur models, which are scaled to produce a simple model that can calculate numbers easily without needing any complex calculations. It is often referred to as the Lowveld Fire Danger System since this is where it has been most widely used. Note that the process by which the system was developed, and the assumptions that were made, were never documented.

The down-welling surface short-wave radiation flux (DSSF) refers to the radiative energy in the wavelength interval [0.3 microns, 4.0 microns] reaching the Earth's surface per time and surface unit. It essentially depends on the solar zenith angle, on cloud coverage, and to a lesser extent on atmospheric absorption and surface albedo. DSSF fields are crucial for a wide number of applications involving scientific domains like weather forecast, hydrology, climate, agriculture and environment-related studies. In numerical weather prediction and general circulation models of the atmosphere, satellite-derived DSSF estimates can either be used as a control variable or as a substitute to surface radiation measurement networks.

Land surface albedo is a key variable for characterising the energy balance in the coupled soil-vegetation-atmosphere system. The albedo quantifies the part of the energy that is absorbed and transformed into heat and latent fluxes. Owing to strong feedback effects the knowledge of albedo is important for determining weather conditions at the atmospheric boundary layer. Climate sensitivity studies with Global Circulation Models have confirmed the unsteady nature of the energy balance with respect to small changes in surface albedo. Other domains of applications are in hydro-meteorology, agro-meteorology and environment-related studies.

The cover fraction fCover is the fraction of green vegetation covering a unit area of horizontal soil. It corresponds to the gap fraction in the nadir direction. It is generally close to fAPAR with the advantage of being defined independently of illumination conditions, making it an intrinsic canopy attribute. For these reasons, fCover is a very good candidate for substitution of classical vegetation indices. Note that fCover is also independent on leaf and soil optical properties although it is defined with reference to green elements. FCover typically varies from 0 (bare soil) to 1 (full cover). fCover is used to decouple vegetation and soil contributions in energy balance processes with particular attention to temperature and evapo-transpiration. Its inter-annual variations makes it possible to monitor the changes in land-use.

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is the radiative skin temperature over land. LST plays an important role in the physics of land surface as it is involved in the processes of energy and water exchange with the atmosphere. LST is useful for the scientific community, namely for those dealing with meteorological and climate models. Accurate values of LST are also of special interest in a wide range of areas related to land surface processes, including meteorology, hydrology, agrometeorology, climatology and environmental studies.
