Monitoring planned for upcoming satellite instruments

Monitoring planned for upcoming satellite instruments

The following tables show what kind of NWP SAF monitoring is planned for instruments on upcoming satellites. Once a satellite has been launched we aim to provide the planned monitoring within 3 months of availability of a NRT data stream, or within 6 months for quality assessment reports.

Planned monitoring is marked with a bullet, and where some of the planned types of monitoring or instruments for a particular satellite are already available the entry in the table is marked with an ‘A’. When all planned monitoring for a satellite is available the satellite is removed from the table.

The tables show both Recently launched satellites and Upcoming satellite launches
