Density Map Vector Zonal Plot details

Details of plotted data
General
  • All data is in BUFR format unless otherwise specified.
  • A QI threshold of 80 is applied to all geostationary AMVs and a QI threshold of 60 is applied to all polar AMVs. The QI used is the EUMETSAT quality indicator without first guess check.

Plots are included from the Met Office for the unedited GOES and MODIS winds. These are the pre-autoeditor winds (i.e. before speed and pressure adjustment). There may be some differences between the final and unedited wind numbers as the unedited winds are not monitored operationally.
