Hey there!🛰️😄NWC SAF is participating in EUMETSAT Met Sat Conference that takes part in Lyon!
We've explained the current status of High Resolution Winds product (HRW) for GEO and PPS versions 🥳Do U want to see the poster and find out more?🧐👉https://t.co/tEPHZbyHAH

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

Hello!🛰️We have uploaded a new version of PPS on our website, the PPS v2021.6☺️
Some changes have been implemented, you can fin them in: https://t.co/gBNAnya27C
🤩

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

🛰️Quite a bit of activity from early morning 🌩️⛈️

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

Hi world! Such a great news!😎
We are glad to announce that the new version, v2025, has been released. This new version is compatible with MTI1 data 🛰️
Next week you'll be able to visualise our products in our web.
Enjoy it, and remember, we're growing together 🥳

Hello!! 👋
1 July MTG-S launch🛰️
Our Colleague Níobe Peinado (AEMET) at EUMETSAT explains the expected benefits of the hiperspectral sounder IRS on board of MTG-S for AEMET and the coming products of the NWC SAF based on IRS data!!
We're so proud ☺️

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

🔊Join us online 2 June for a EUMeTrain workshop on Future NWCSAF Services & Satellite Humidity and Instability (SHAI) Product from MTG-S/IRS data, with a MeTOp-IASI prototype. Don't miss the chance to explore the new NWCSAF tools! More information 👇

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

And... Did you know that the humidity and instability products are derived from the polar orbiting infrared hyperspectral sounder (IASI-MetOp), as a proxy for MTG-IRS? These parameters can be derived day and night over partly cloudy scenes with up to 80% cloud fraction 😎Cool

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

🛰️The Nowcasting SAF Sounder Satellite Humidity and Instability (sSHAI) prototype product based on IASI data as a proxy for MTG-IRS is now available on the European Weather Cloud (EWC) in the Nowcasting SAF viewer based on ADAGUC https://t.co/NniL9pCjDn 👇

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

[NWP SAF @NWP_SAF]

🔥 📢After nearly 5 years of intense efforts, the @NWP_SAF teams are releasing today the latest major version of RTTOV (v14) 🌍🛰️
Great job @metoffice @meteofrance @ECMWF @DWD_presse

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

@EdsenTheWeather Dear Edsen, the new Software Version for MTG (v2025)🛰️ likely will be released in June 🥳. We hope anything happens before, but we are very positives about it :) 🤩

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

👋🔊Visiting Scientist (VS) announcement: Towards a better characterization of the severity of thunderstorms by improving Cloud Top Features detection 🌩️
The work will start once v2024 of NWCSAF software will be available as this version will be compliant with MTG satellite 🛰️

It's a pleasure for us to be a part of #AMS2025 ! Our teammate Llorenç (left in the picture) cannot represent us beter! We're so proud of him!🥳🤠

[AEMET_Corporativa @Aemet_Corpora]

Llorenç Lliso y Jaime Rey en la #AMS2025 para exponer el NowcastIng #AI (NAI), desarrollado por AEMET para la predicción de #niebla . Una "caja de herramientas" que permite al usuario descargar datos #METAR de un aeropuerto y datos de nubes del @Nowcasting_SAF y reusarlos 👇#ML

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

🛰️‼️We have a new PROTOTYPE🥳🥳 LIStack is being developed by our Team⚡️It ensures an accumulation over a configurable time period of LI level 2 accumulated (gridded) data (stack the 30-second-long EUMETSAT data) 😮🤩Find out more about LIStack: https://t.co/jer8Dw0EJz
WDYT?🧐

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

The data proposed to building the ML models are NWC SAF cloud and METAR data. 🧐
The tool aims helping to understand better the blending of ground and satellite data approach for such kind of models 😮👏👏

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

nowcAstIng's format is Jupyter notebook collection, letting:
-To download NWCSAF 🌥️🌥️ & collocate them with METAR reports
-To get insight on fog formation
-To establish baseline models
-To develop ML models to forecast fog's occurrence
-To store their models for operational reuse

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

Fog forecasting is a cutting-edge problem. Also, the fog forecasting represents a dare for operational meteorologists.
nowcAstIng targeted user are Machine Learning practitioners, Academia and NMS. These communities are encouraged to fork the project, give feedback and contribute

[NWC SAF @Nowcasting_SAF]

At NWC SAF🛰️, a toolbox has been developed to foster fog nowcasting at airports.

The toolbox is titled nowcAstIng. The toolbox is released with a capacity-building approach under the umbrella of the EUMETSATs’ EUMETLab😎 You can clone it from: https://t.co/PhZ57OXLCn 👇👇
