The webinar provides an overview of the instrument and measurement principles, details on product generation and validation, and user-relevant information about data formats, dissemination, and applications. As part of the event, two European NMHS share their perspectives on using space-based lightning imager data for weather forecasting.
With the User Preparation Webinars, EUMETSAT aims to raise technical and scientific awareness among users, trigger software and algorithm developments for exploiting products, and stimulate the development of applications.
Data from the geostationary MTG Lightning Imager are expected to become available in mid-2023.
The Q&A session is on www.slido.com, event code #MTG-LI.
