Training module, online
This training module gives an overview on applications of MSG water vapour channels for operational weather forecasting. It handles the concept of potential vorticity, is a key feature to understand the dynamic processes in the higher Troposphere such as cyclogenesis. The CAL module also shows practical applications of the WV images, from the geostationary satellites, for locating tropopause foldings, clear air turbulence and deformation zones. It handles the effects of WV boundaries on the initiation of convective processes and, finally, presents some meteorological products heavily based on WV imagery.
