Meteosat Third Generation InfraRed Sounder (MTG-IRS)
• Part of EUMETSAT geostationary satellite programme. • Mounted on MTG-S platform• Planned launch 2021
• Mission objective:• High spatial and temporal resolution
observations of q(p) and T(p)

MTG-IRS Instrument
• Imaging FTS:• moderate spectral resolution (0.625 cm-1) in two
bands (700-1210 cm-1 and 1600-2175 cm-1)
• Spatial sampling 4 km at SSP• Temporal sampling: 10 sec• 2 detector arrays: 160 x 160 detectors

Recall Spatial Coverage
5
• The Earth disc is split in 4 Local Area Coverage (LAC) Zones
• Numbered from South to North
• Hence LAC1 is South Africa and LAC4 is Europe (strange shape needed to cover Canary Islands)
• 1 LAC covered in 15min (so the entire Earth can be theoretically covered every hour)
• But LAC4 is revisited every 30min
LAC 1
LAC 2
LAC 3
LAC 4

MTG-IRS Level 2 Demonstration and Validation Processor
• Supports the detailed definition of the operational processor,
• End-to-end Processor• Pre Processing: Scene classification• Product generation:1DVAR
• Based on UWPHYSRET/Mirto used for CrIS/IASI at Univ. of Hawaii with direct readout
• Post Processing: Scaled Projected State• Selected results from application to IASI data.

Direct assimilation of L2 products
• Currently investigation of relative merits of level 2 assimilation after transformation of level 2 to mitigate background information (Following Migliorini, 2012)
• Currently focus on single profile to test the technical infra-structure, next will be assimilation of all IASI products for 3 week period
