Land Surface emissivity for SEVIRI/Meteosat
(IR) channels and broad-band values within the 3-14 micron
band. EM is available for the Meteosat disk, on a pixel-by-pixel
basis.

| How to access information |
Land SAF data are freely available, but users
are asked to register at the
site: http://landsaf.meteo.pt/ Emissivity is an internal product, but it may be distributed if requested. Please write to the Land SAF helpdesk: helpdesk.landsaf@meteo.pt |
| Format information |
All Land SAF products are available in HDF5
format (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/).
|
| Date project began or when data was first available |
1 March 2005 (Land SAF)
|
| Date information last updated and by whom |
Emissivity maps, corresponding to ~5day composites,
are updated daily.
|
| Date information last checked and by whom, and date for next check and by whom |
The Land SAF EM is checked routinely and used
for the operational retrieval of Land Surface Temperature
from SEVIRI by the Land SAF team (LST may be downloaded from
http://landsaf.meteo.pt/).
