Hi Bernie, re: MSG's interesting scanning strategy for the HRV > Thanks for the clarification about he scanning strategy. I was not > aware of that. I wouldn't expect it either, but I have been in LOTS of presentations by folks from EUMETSAT, so I have been aware of the scanning strategy for some time. re: > It seems like a strange way to do it. What is the rationale? There is not enough time to scan the entire disk in the HRV channel, so a strategy was implemented that provides continuous coverage for Europe (where the EUMETSAT member states are), and as much of latitudes lower than ~25N as possible. I think that the idea is pretty clever even though it makes for an "interesting" effect if one looks at HRV scans throughout the day. Have a great Thanksgiving!
