This training module shows the unique challenges that forecasters face when using satellite imagery in high latitude regions. Using a lot of examples and fun exercises, it compares different types of satellites (geostationary, polar) and different generations of satellites as well as benefits and drawbacks of each. It also explains different phenomena that occur in these high latitude regions due to viewing geometry and much more.

Roxane Desire shows the best RGBs for detection of typical winter weather phenomena: snow, ice and supercooled water clouds.
With the operational deployment of MTG, there are now various methods available for detecting snow on the ground. RGB products, in particular, provide high-contrast images that help distinguish snow on the ground from the underlying surface, low clouds, or ice clouds. We will also explore some important nuances to consider. Finally, still in the context of winter-related issues, we will discuss how these same RGB products can be used to detect supercooled water clouds, which can be responsible for ground ice formation or aircraft icing.
Ivan Smiljanic talks about turbulence and waves, showing many different examples.
Turbulence and waves in the atmosphere, like in other fluids, are signatures of usually dynamically strong processes that cause these disturbances. Also, they can be very dangerous on their own and can propagate to different parts of the atmosphere. Waves and turbulence behave differently in different fluids, and are seen differently with different spectral channels, thus not always easy to identify through satellite data. In this short lecture we will show you how these regular and irregular atmospheric motions are after all captured by advanced FCI instrument, and how that makes our everyday lives safer.
Djorjde Gencic shows the most useful RGBs for fog and low cloud detection, and mentions some "under development" products as well.
This presentation focuses on the detection of fog and low clouds with the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) on Meteosat Third Generation. It highlights the significant advancements over SEVIRI — particularly the improvements in spatial, temporal, spectral, and radiometric resolution — that greatly enhance the ability to identify, monitor, and characterize fog and low cloud dynamics.
