MSG part NWCSAF/MSG Products that could cover Users’ needs: • Icing • Use of other MTG instruments e.g. Lightning sensor to improve RDT • Discrimination between convective and non-convective cloud pixels • Possibility to use other cloud products (like EUMETSAT OCA), to improve the HRW quality (e.g. height assignment) • Convection Initiation • Convection Warning • Cloud Microphysics • ASII-NG

  16. NWCSAF 2014 Users’ Survey. MSG part MTG based NWCSAF Products interesting for the User: • Cloud Base Level • Intra-cloud water information or profiling • Wind profiles • Better thin cirrus detection • Lightning Imager for lightning over Africa • Convection Initiation • Convection Warning • Cloud Microphysics • ASII-NG • Extrapolated Imagery
