Jun Li shows applications of GIIRS onboard the Fengyun satellite in National Satellite Meteorological Center.
Content
Progress has been made on the applications of high-temporal-resolution GIIRS observations. These include but are not limited to deriving three-dimensional (3D) wind fields for nowcasting and NWP assimilation, trending atmospheric instability for warning in preconvective environments, and monitoring diurnal variation of atmospheric composition. This presentation provides a summary on the current applications of GIIRS, discusses the data processing challenges, and provides perspectives on future development.
