Tropospheric temperature and humidity profile retrieval from Meteosat Flexible Combined Imager based on deep learning
The Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) offers new opportunities for tropospheric temperature and humidity profiling, at higher spatio-temporal resolutions and expanded spectral coverage relative to its predecessor. Vertically resolved retrievals from broadband imagers are inherently challenging, and operational retrieval algorithms typically rely on numerical weather prediction (NWP) background fields to compensate for limited infrared spectral resolution, reducing the retrievals' independence. We develop a spatially aware deep learning framework to retrieve all-sky tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles from FCI, without forecast profiles as input. A R...
