MSG Land Surface Temperature - All Sky - MSG

Description

The all-sky LST product provides skin temperature estimate for all land pixels within the SEVIRI disk, every 30 min, for both clear and cloudy conditions. It is a combination of two already operational algorithms: (i) the clear sky component is derived from MSG level 2 product, MSLT (LSA-004), while; (ii) the cloudy sky component is obtained from the energy balance algorithm currently in use for the estimation of MSG 30-minute evapotranspiration (MET-v2, LSA-311). The identification of cloudy pixels is based on the cloud mask generated by the Nowcasting and Very Short Range Forecasting Satellite Application Facility (NWC SAF) software.
