Hourly GEOSat Data for TISA! ! • Available geostationary satellites provide up to 1-hour global monitoring between ~60°S and ~60°N! • <strong>CERES</strong> Ed2 cloud retrieval algorithm (VISST/SIST) from MODIS adapted for geostationary satellite data processing! ! ! ! G15 G13 Met9 FY2E MTSAT-‐2 • FY-2 series will not be included in TISA analysis because of unreliability! Meteosat-7 & 2-channel algorithm will be used for the gap ! • Currently running in near-real time, will process backward in time! !- GMAO working on assimilation of these data!
Meteosat-9 vs Aqua Cloud Amounts, Daytime! • Better agreement with 5 channel code!
