Description :
The AA. describe a method for converting the raw radiance counts transmitted by Meteosat-1 into climatological parameters averaged over a 1 lat/long grid once an hour. The case study presented for August 21, 1978, demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining albedos, emitted irradiances and cloud amounts for different cloud types from hourly satellite image data.
