EUMeTrain Quick Guides
About:
Quick Guides are made in order to help the users of satellite products (in this case Sandwich products and RGBs) to get the most essential information which might use in daily shift work. A Quick Guide consists of two pages; the first page (fig. 1a) is a short description of the aim of this product, of its benefits and limitations and the physical background. The second page (fig. 1b) contains examples of images and the interpretations of the characteristic colour and/or the cloud top features showing in the product.
There are currently 12 quick guides developed by EUMeTrain that you can see on this page. Also, at the end of the page there are examples of RGB Quick Guides from NASA SPORT.
