Dataset description

The retrieval of emissivity is based on clear-sky measurements from MSG system in the thermal infrared window (MSG/SEVIRI channels IR8.7, IR10.8 and IR12.0). Retrievals are performed on an hourly basis and are then composited daily. The identification of cloudy pixels is based on the cloud mask generated by the Nowcasting and Very Short Range Forecasting Satellite Application Facility (NWC SAF) software.
