Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) - Northern hemisphere

Abstract:
AMV is a product derived by tracing the movement of individual cloud (VIS and IR1) or water vapor (IR3) patterns in successive MTSAT images. The product includes information on wind speed and direction. The dataset is provided in BUFR.
