MEOSTM GeostationaryDisplay ExamplesBasic PackageThe Basic Package ingests data from the Front End System and provides all the necessary tools for basic processing and operation of the ground station. Data are pre-processed and stored into a Unix file system in mission specific formats or as calibrated, geocoded and map-projected products in HDF 5 format. All data is archived in a product database.Map-projected products can be viewed with the MEOSTM visualisation software package, which is a standard feature of the Basic Package. It is a fast, operational viewer containing functions; such as interface to product archives, zooming and panning, animation, printing, image enhancements, format conversion and overlay of vector graphics and annotations.Raw data files and higher level products may be distributed over LAN/WAN to other users. All operations are automatic and easily configurable, including management of disk space and retrieval of processing parameter files. The system has advanced capabilities for monitoring. All status information is written to disk as log reports. This gives a unique capability to do diagnostics locally as well as remotely, and to generate reception quality reports. The Basic Package contains a versatile Quick Look Viewer showing incoming data in real time, with possibility to show selected channels, perform image enhancement, view a previous dissemination and to display multiple missions. Advanced PackageThe Advanced Package is an add-on to the Basic Package and contains automatic processing of Value Added Products. The range of Value Added Products include nowcasting products, such as Cloud Type and Cloud Top Temperature, and climatological products like Sea Surface Temperature and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index.
