NWCSAF objectives
Satellite Application Facility on Support to Nowcasting and
Very Short Range Forecast (NWC SAF) belongs to the
EUMETSAT SAF Network.
The general objective of the SAFNWC is to provide
operational services to ensure the optimum use of
meteorological satellite data in Nowcasting and Very Short
Range Forecasting by targeted users.
To achieve this goal , the SAFNWC is responsible for the
development and maintenance of appropriate SW Packages
(GEO and POLAR Satellites), as well as of all related tasks
for user's support.

MSG package
SW elements: Task Manager, NWCLIB, PGEs, tools. To execute,
with minimum human assistance, all necessary tasks for the
generation of SAF NWC Products in a real-time operational
mode and for a configurable geographical area.

CDOP-2 plans: GEO v2016
Main changes:
•New Task Manager, NWCLIB and tools:
Needed to add the capability to process data from “other”
satellites.
Unification of common functions
Other minor improvements
•New output format: Netcdf
•Adaptation of Wind products to GOES-N satellites
•Scientific improvements in Cloud Products, HRW Product and ClearAir
Product
•New products: Cloud microphysics, CI (convection initiation),
Convective Warning, ASII-NG and EXIM (extrapolated images,
presentation by A. Jann)

CDOP-2 plans: first steps for GEO v2017
in CDOP-3
•Scientific development during CDOP-2
•Main improvements:
Adaptation of products to other foreign
satellite: Himawari (and GOES-R, TBD), as a first
step to prepare for the adaptation of products to
MTG-FCI
Precipitation products from Cloud Physical
Properties: Night algorithm

CDOP-3 Plans
•Adaptation of GEO products to MTG-FCI: new channels, better spatial and
temporal resolutions
•Make use of MTG-LI new data
•Continue the adaptation to other satellites: Himawari, GOES-R
•Plans for MTG-S (presentation by M.A. Martínez): To offer a user friendly
SW to manage the MTG-S L1 and L2 data
L1 data: PC to BTs , generation of MTG-S L1 BTs files for NWCSAF user
defined regions. Generation of L1 products as RGB images.
L2 products:
From CAF L2 T,q profiles: calculation of TPW, LPW and Instability
indices at dwells. Combination and Reprojection of dwells to user
defined regions
SAF L2 product: locally executed light CPU algorithms for
retrieval T, q profiles using as input local NWP models.
