The exploitation of Meteosat Second Generation data for convective storms over the Czech Republic
Original language description
The aim of the paper is to study the validation and correction of the Convective Rainfall Rate (CRR) algorithm. The original CRR algorithm was applied to data from the Czech Republic (CR) but since the calibration matrices (which are the core of CRR) were previously derived using data from Spain and Norway, we recalculated these matrices using data from the CR. We found that the original and the new matrices were significantly different in absolute values and in the values of IR 10.8 ?m, WV 6.2 ?m and VIS 0.6 ?m under which rainfalls were observed. We subjectively modified these calculated calibration matrices and used them within the CRR algorithm. We also complemented the algorithm with the correction of the distribution of estimated rainfalls. The results showed that the new calibration matrices, complemented by the distribution correction, yielded the most accurate rainfall estimates.
