Table 3 New products in development during CDOP-2
Note for products H40, H41 and H42:
Precipitation products H40, H41 and H42 will be developed in two version:
Version “A” (H40A, H41A, H42A): products having the H-SAF area as spatial
coverage;
Version “B” (H40B, H41B, H42B): products whose spatial coverage wis the H-SAF
area extended to Africa and southern Atlantic.
Note for products H31 and H32:
The proposed snow products H31 Snow detection for flat land (Polar satellites) and H32
Snow detection for flat land (Geostationary satellites) are LSA SAF products, which will be
inserted into H-SAF product list during CDOP-2. Such products are in LSA SAF projection and,
in particular, H31 is already operational and has users; it is noted that they address end user
communities which do not interfere with the one interested in H10 and H11. The processing
and distribution to users of these products will be taken care of by the LSA SAF , whilst H-SAF
will be in charge of their development and validation. Within H-SAF it is already planned to
unite the polar satellite based effective snow cover and snow detection products to one
product during CDOP-2.
Note for product H11:
The recent, unexpected failure of the AMSR-E instrument cannot allow to put into
operations the product H11 SN-OBS-2, due to a formal incompatibility with the product
characteristics documented for such product up to now. The substitution of the algorithm
based on AMSR-E with the one based on SSM/I is considered as fully adequate and
