Divergence Product - MSG - Indian Ocean

Abstract:
The Divergence is calculated directly from the field of the MSG channel 6.2 Atmospheric Motion Vectors. Only high level (above 400 hPa) vectors are considered, and the output variables are Horizontal Divergence and Relative Vorticity on a 32 x 32 pixel grid. From 1 June 2022, Meteosat-9 at 45.5° E is the prime satellite for the IODC service, replacing Meteosat-8 (located at 41.5° E while in operation). Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) are a valuable observation type for providing dynamical information for forecast models.
