Utilising specialist expertise from the Member States, Satellite Application Facilities (SAFs) are dedicated centres of excellence for processing satellite data.
The LSA SAF exploits remotely-sensed data on land, land-atmosphere interactions and biosphere applications.
Nowcasting is a weather forecast for the next few hours, based on current information.
The OSI SAF provides comprehensive information on the ocean-atmosphere interface.
The AC SAF processes satellite data on ozone, other trace gases, aerosols and ultraviolet data.
The ROM SAF generates and archives high-quality GNSS Radio Occultation (RO) data for NWP.
The NWP SAF supports the interface between satellite data and European activities in NWP.
The CM SAF generates and archives high-quality climate datasets.
The H SAF generates and archives datasets and products for operational hydrological applications.
