MSG: Infra-red imagery at 10.8 micron over Africa

The Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites, operated by EUMETSAT (The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites), provide almost continuous imagery to meteorologists and researchers in Europe and around the world. These include visible, infra-red, water vapour, High Resolution Visible (HRV) images and derived cloud top height, cloud top temperature, fog, snow detection and volcanic ash products. These images are available for a range of geographical areas.

This dataset contains infa-red images from MSG satellites over Africa. Imagery available from March 2005 onwards at a frequency of 15 minutes (some are hourly) and are at least 24 hours old.

The geographic extent for images within this datasets is available via the linked documentation 'MSG satellite imagery product geographic area details'. Each MSG imagery product area can be referenced from the third and fourth character of the image product name giving in the filename. E.g. for EEAO11 the corresponding geographic details can be found under the entry for area code 'AO' (i.e West Africa).

欧洲气象卫星利用组织（EUMETSAT）运营的 Meteosat 第二代（MSG）卫星，为欧洲及全球的气象学家和研究人员提供近乎连续的影像数据。这些影像数据包括可见光、红外、水汽、高分辨率可见光（HRV）图像，以及由此派生的云顶高度、云顶温度、雾、雪检测和火山灰产品。这些图像数据覆盖了广泛的地理区域。本数据集包含 MSG 卫星在非洲上空的红外影像，影像数据自 2005 年 3 月起提供，频率为每 15 分钟一次（部分为每小时一次），且至少为 24 小时前的数据。本数据集中图像的地理范围可通过链接文档《MSG 卫星影像产品地理区域详情》获取。每个 MSG 影像产品区域的引用可通过文件名中图像产品名称的第三和第四个字符查找。例如，对于 EEAO11，相应的地理细节可在区域代码 'AO'（即西非）的条目下找到。
