Technical directives for building and operating MSG3 and NOAA19 satellites receiving station

摘要

The SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced in Visible and Infrared Imager) sensor on the MSG3 satellite provides an image every 15 minutes, so the development of a system that can exploit the temporal behaviour of the observations of terrestrial half-disc, is crucial for these near-real-Time applications. To validate the processing results, we need to use some others sensors, like AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) from NOAA19 satellite. A terrestrial station is required to collect and follow the temporal, spectral, and space evolution of the treated topic of interest. In this research, we have described a simple satellite ground station with some parts realized, to receive daily data from either SEVIRI-MSG3 geostationary satellite or AVHRRNOAA19 polar satellite. Some results of acquisition and processing by using our MSGViewer software are described. The remote sensed data gathered are useful in many Physics applications. Different combinations between visible and infrared windows based on images received from NOAA19 satellite and MSG3 have obtained through its AVHRR Radiometer and SEVIRI Imager. The system can be easily applied for under graduate research uses.
