COROBOR – MESSIR-SAT

Your needs
The high definition satellite images are an essential tool for forecaster, for weather analysis, monitoring and nowcasting. It allows to locate the main cloud masses (storm systems, tropical cyclones …) and to identify the type of clouds. The animation of these images also provides a clear insight of the evolution and the movement of the cloud masses.

Satellite imagery helps detect and forecast high impact weather, such as thunderstorms or fog.

All stages of convection can be monitored, from the initial instability in the atmosphere, to the development and properties of mature thunderstorms. Volcanic ash clouds, which are important for air traffic management, can be detected.

Weather forecasting centres need satellite imagery to perform their duty.

Description

What is MESSIR-SAT?
MESSIR-SAT is a system (hardware + software) able to acquire, process, store and display satellite imagery.

MESSIR-SAT can process METEOSAT, as well as MTSAT, GOES, INSAT satellites images.

MESSIR-SAT can be delivered as a standalone “all-in-one” workstation able to perform all functions of acquisition, processing and display.

MESSIR-SAT can also be delivered as a pre-processing MESSIR-SAT server, acquiring and dispatching the satellite data to MESSIR-SAT Workstations and/or MESSIR-VISION Forecaster Workstations.

MESSIR-SAT Main Functions

MESSIR-SAT offers a complete set of functions to take full advantage of the volume of satellite imagery now available:

  • Imagery acquisition, either from a parabolic antenna or from a FTP server
  • Acquisition of other data flow, as “MDD”
  • Storage in database
  • Display and animation of satellite imagery, integration with other data types
  • Production of images for end-users
  • Dissemination to Web servers, other workstations, servers….
