Upgraded LSA SAF MSG Land Surface Temperature product on EUMETCast soon

The product, LSA-004, is an upgraded version of the 15-minute MSG Land Surface Temperature (MLST) product (LSA-001).

LSA-004 brings the following changes:

• An extra data-layer quantifying the directional effects on LST, namely: an estimation of the difference between the LST of each scene/pixel as viewed by SEVIRI/MSG with respect to what would be measured by a nadir-only sensor.
• The geographical region will be the full MSG-Disk instead of the former geographical regions (Euro, NAfr, SAfr and SAme).
• The HDF5 output files are internally compressed.

The LSA-004 and the LSA-001 will be distributed in parallel for a two-month period, after which the LSA-001 will be discontinued (an announcement for this will be issued in due course).

The LSA-004 will be distributed on EUMETCast, as follows:
