Extended Abstract (252K)JP8.9
NOAA-generated operational products available from the MetOp satellite
Stacy L. Bunin, Noblis, Falls Church, VA; and T. Schott
The launch of the MetOp satellite on October 19, 2006 provided the opportunity for the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) to generate new products from several of MetOp's new instruments, including the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT), and Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME). In addition, higher resolution products are now generated using the global 1-km Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data. New products that have recently been declared operational include cloud cleared radiances, carbon trace gases, and ozone profiles from IASI; ocean surface wind vectors and radar backscatter measurements from ASCAT; and total ozone and magnesium II index products from GOME. This presentation will provide information on the new products available to the NOAA user community from the MetOp satellite.
