Meteosat‐6 experiences anomaly
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1994 Following a successful launch on November 20, 1993, the European Space Agency's Meteosat‐6 satellite began to experience an anomaly in the functioning of its radiometer, which affects the spacecraft's full operational capabilities.The anomaly was discovered in December during quality checks of the infrared images.

Sunshine Duration in Brazil From Meteosat (1983–2020): Climatology, Variability and Long‐Term Trends
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.Using nearly four decades of Meteosat satellite data (1983–2020), this study presents a country‐wide climatology of sunshine duration (SDU) in Brazil. The results reveal marked regional contrasts, dominant modes of variability, and significant long‐term trends, providing new information on the most relevant meteorological systems that influence SDU and

Beyond the Mean: The Mesoscale Cloud Patterns of the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract The organization of clouds in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) varies markedly from day‐to‐day. To investigate how different mesoscale cloud patterns relate to the mean properties of the ITCZ, this study identifies and classifies recurrent patterns and examines their spatial and temporal distributions.

Anomalous Opaque Clouds Revealed by Collocated MODIS and CALIOP Retrievals
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract This paper examines discrepancies between cloud optical thickness (COT) retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud product, and cloud opacity measurements from the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) lidar.

The Diurnal Cycle of Convective Activity over South Asia as Diagnosed from METEOSAT-5 and TRMM Data
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010 Cloud and precipitation data from satellites were used to characterize the climatological diurnal cycle of convective activity over South Asia. Spatial and temporal variability were investigated using three hourly blackbody brightness temperature (TBB ...

Temporal interpolation in Meteosat images [PDF]
, 1997 The geostationary weather satellite Meteosat supplies us with a visual and an infrared image of the earth every 30 minutes. However, due to transmission error s some images may be missing. European TV weather reports are often supported by such infrared image sequences. The cloud movements in such animated films are perceived as being jerky due to t he

Observing cirrus formation and decay with METEOSAT [PDF]
, 2009 Cirrus clouds have a substantial impact on net radiation and therefore also on climate, but the physical processes involved in cirrus formation and decay are not very well represented in climate and weather prediction models. In-situ formation of natural cirrus clouds is initiated when cooling moist air parcels reach a substantial super-saturation with
