Global Instability Index - MSG - 0 degree

Abstract:
Atmospheric air mass instability in cloud free areas. The product contains several stability parameters as well as information about the precipitable water contents of the atmosphere. For more information on the parameters and algorithms refer to the product guide in the resources. The algorithm is a physical retrieval scheme developed at EUMETSAT. Applications and Users: Nowcasting and short term forecasting (up to 12 hours). Resolution is 3x3 pixels.
