Product Introduction

This device receives and processes data from Japan's new generation geostationary meteorological satellite, Himawari-8. Himawari-8 has increased the frequency of observation. The time interval for observing the entire map of Himawari-8 has been shortened to 10 minutes, which means 6 images per hour and 144 images per day. Himawari-8 has improved the horizontal resolution of the image. The resolution of visible light is 0.5-1km, and the resolution of infrared and near-infrared is 1-2km. Due to the significant improvements mentioned above, Himawari-8 can more effectively observe the movement of tropical cyclones and clouds.

The QY-3 new generation meteorological satellite data reception and processing system adopts high-performance antenna feeders and digital satellite receivers. The product design for cloud image data processing has been carried out based on the cloud image characteristics of the Himawari-8 satellite, improving algorithms for strong convection recognition, precipitation estimation, sea fog recognition and warning, cloud guided wind products, cloud classification, fire point monitoring, sand and dust recognition, air mass recognition, typhoon warning, and other aspects. Real color cloud image display has also been added.

Product features

QY-3 new generation meteorological satellite cloud image receiving and processing system, received satellite cloud image products are rich, timely and accurate data, and can accurately measure the cloud top temperature of infrared cloud map, cloud top albedo of visible cloud map and typhoon position. Therefore, the function of the product can be more exerted in the following applications.

1) Short- and medium-term weather forecasting, climate change monitoring, short-term forecasting of strong storms.

2) Can observe the formation, development and movement direction of tropical storms and typhoons in real time, and can accurately determine their intensity, position and movement speed

3) Be able to predict where to land.

4) Use animated images to track cloud movement, growth, and decay.

5) Detection and forecasting of sea fog.
