Snow in MTG data
Competency Framework
WMO Satellite Skills
Description
Ivan Smiljanić talks about the future possibilities detecting snow and ice from MTG data.
Content
Detection of snow, but also its classification (depth, crystal size, age) depends mostly on the spectral and spatial resolution of geostationary satellites. Having better spatial resolution and more spectral channels, Meteosat Third Generation satellites (MTG) will be able to see snow better and tell more about its flavours, especially in the visible and near-IR spectral regions. Join if you are interested to know how the snow detection will be done with MTG and what is "the colour of the snow" with future data.
