The application of Rapid Scan data to the Convective Rainfall Rate algorithm from SAF NWC for the area of the Czech Republic
Original language description
The goal of this paper is to calculate new calibration matrices using Rapid Scan (RSS) Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) measurements and to evaluate their impact on precipitation estimates for a territory of the Czech Republic. The calibration matrices are the most important part of the Convective Rainfall Rate algorithm, which uses the IR 10.8 ?m, WV 6.2 ?m and VIS 0.6 ?m spectral SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) channels of the MSG to assess satellite precipitation estimates (SPEs). The calibration matrices were calculated using Czech radar data from 21 summer days during which severe convection and heavy precipitation were observed. The resultant matrices were compared with those obtained using conventional 15 min MSG scans. The comparison showed significant differences in the calibration matrices, which resulted in differences in the estimated precipitation. The application of RSS data significantly increased the rain rates and improved the structure of the ma
