What is SATAID? SATAID (Satellite Animation and Interactive Diagnosis) Originally developed by JMA’s MSC (Meteorological Satellite Center) as an application software to display satellite imagery and NWP data for training purposes Provided to NMHSs as a JMA’s contribution to WMO-CGMS Virtual Laboratory for Training in Satellite Meteorology (VL) Today, used also as an operational tool for daily weather analysis including tropical cyclone monitoring at JMA’s HQ and local offices Freely available to NMHSs and easy to install Equipped with lots of functions CGMS: Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites

SATAID software (GMSLPD for Windows)

What is SATAID? With GMSLPD, you can…… Display (and overlay) satellite imagery and NWP data (and various observations i.e. SYNOP, SHIP, TEMP, Radar, Wind Profiler, ASCAT etc. if its format prepared) Use many functions: vertical cross-sectional chart, time-series chart, digital data output to CSV file...... Save as a file including a package of all data, your drawings and comments, which will be useful for trainings and case study archives Analyze position and intensity of tropical cyclones

SATAID Service JMA SATAID Service has been provided as WIS DAR since December 2011. ID and password required (provided to each NMHS) DAR: Data Discovery, Access and Retrieval http://www.wis-jma.go.jp/cms/sataid/ 41

SATAID Service Data Area

SATAID Service MTSAT imagery (VIS, IR, IR2, WV, 3.8μm), NWP products (GSM) Observation data (SYNOP, SHIP, TEMP, ASCAT sea-surface wind) Data of the last 72 hours are available.

SATAID Service Data Specification

Example 1 – Dvorak Analysis -

Example 2 - NWP overlaid -

Example 3 - Surface observation overlaid- SATAID Operation Manual is available at http://www.wis-jma.go.jp/cms/sataid/manual/
