EUMETSAT - High Resolution Water Vapor Winds (HWW)

Entry ID: EUMETSAT_HWW

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The High Resolution Water Vapor Wind product is using a slightly different
algorithm (FFT surface correlation) as the WV part of the ELW product, and the
WV images are divided into sub-areas of 16x16 pixels, i.e. the same resolution
as the HRV product. Only segments where a cloud has been detected are
processed. The HWW is generated every 1.5 hours and distributed in BUFR.
