A new ES&S
SATRAX700 X-band system has recently been installed and commissioned
in Taiwan for the Chinese Air Force. This system
was installed and commissioned in Taipei over a period of three weeks
(August 22 to September 14). During the installation, a two typhoons
crossed Taiwan. A software
suite for processing of the Terra and Aqua MODIS images was developed
by ES&S, and customized for this installation. This provides calibrated
and navigated data (L1B), and high level products including temperature,
pressure and water vapour profiles. The METEOR image processing
suite installed with the system allows operators and forecasters to
further process and dispaly the data. |
