Concept of Satrep Online
  Satrep Online is a product of EUMeTrain and sponsored by EUMETSAT. Satrep Online is developed to offer you the chance to test your own skills in the recognition of conceptual models. By combining satellite imagery with NWP a satellite image can be parsed into conceptual models which help you to get a 3d view of the state of the atmosphere on synoptic scale. Currently up to 60 of these conceptual models exist and are fully described in SatManu, the Manual of Synoptic Satellite Meteorology.

The analysis of a satellite image by these conceptual models has proven not only to be useful to the forecaster but also serves as a trainingtool. The todays images offers you the latest Meteosat Second Generation satellite images in combination with a wide range of basic and derived ECMWF model fields. Through the archive past data can be accessed and studied.

 
Showcase
 Low clouds are seen in the 24 hr. Microphysics RGB over the Britain and the North Sea as the ochre colour. Unfortunately there is a small model error as not all of these clouds are captured by the low cloud cover product of ECMWF. Click here to see the whole set of images and NWP fields.
Todays Images
Test your satrep skills with todays images. By overlaying a selection of ECMWF parameters on Meteosat Satellite imagery you can test your knowledge in the recognition of conceptual models. The images are refreshed four times a day at 00, 06, 12 and 18UTC
Weather Briefings
On a monthly basis Satrep Online offers live weather briefings in which the synoptic scale weather is discussed. Participation to these briefings is free. The next briefing is scheduled for 9th July. You can sign up by following this link
