Abstract

The Cloud Physical Properties (CPP) algorithm is being developed at KNMI to derive cloud, precipitation and radiation products from satellite instruments such as SEVIRI onboard the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite. The CPP algorithm development is largely done inside EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF), but also in other research projects. The CPP cloud top height is derived from the Nowcasting SAF (NWC SAF) cloud top temperature and height (CTTH) product.

This dataset is the predecessor of the MTG-based CPP dataset: https://dataplatform.knmi.nl/dataset/mtg-cpp-products-1-0. It is based on MSG measurements and has a lower spatial resolution (3×3 km versus 2×2 km at the sub-satellite point) and temporal resolution (15 versus 10 minutes). The algorithms, contents, and characteristics are otherwise similar. We therefore recommend that new users adopt the MTG-CPP dataset.

Data quality notice

Data only available for the SEVERI disk view and only for solar zenith angles between 0.0 and 84.3 degrees.
