Operational SEVIRI FRP_Pixel Product

Global product generated from FRP pixel derived for different dates only as a visual example

4 Processing Regions

  • N. Africa
  • S. Africa

Europe South America

  • FRP Pixel Product (native spatial/temporal resolution) – available within 30 mins
  • FRP Gridded product - inc. adjustments for “small fires” and “clouds” also available.

Available via FTP/EUMETCast from the EUMETSAT Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility (LSA SAF)

http://landsaf.meteo.pt/

  • for data, ATBD, Product User Manual & Validation Report

Meteosat: Operational via LSA SAF GOES-E: Future operational currently generated @ KCL but available to users GOES-W: Future operational currently generated @ KCL but available to users FY2: Future operational @ CMA currently prototyped @ KCL MTSAT: Maybe future

  • perational

currently prototyped @ KCL + Meteosat Third Generation (2017+) will have:

  • improved temporal resolution
  • 2 km spatial resolution (SSP)
  • wide range 3.9 µm band.
