Abstract
Abstract The coverage and quality of atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) derived from geostationary satellite imagery have improved considerably over the past few years. This is due not only to the deployment of the new generation of satellites, but is also a result of improved data processing and automated quality control (AQC) schemes. The postprocessing of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) derived displacement vectors at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NOAA/NESDIS) has been fully automated since early 1996. At the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) AQC was used as support to the manual quality control (MQC) for Meteosat vector fields until September 1998 when the MQC was discontinued and fully replaced with the automated procedure. The AQC schemes at the two organizations are quite diverse. Based on a method developed at the University of Wisconsi...
