This training module describes MetOp AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) RGB schemes that are based on EUMETSAT recommendations. The 'recipes' were tuned to create high quality MetOp/AVHRR RGB images as similar as possible to the SEVIRI RGB schemes recommended by EUMETSAT.
The main aim of the training module is to help the users (weather forecasters and/or other experts) understand and use these RGB types by giving them background information, examples and exercises.
The module takes the following structure:
- The aim of the RGB type
- Physical background
- How to create the given RGB type
- Typical colors
- Examples of interpretation
- Benefits and limitations
- Comparisons with other RGB types and/or single channel images
