1 "Application of the Sandwich Product and variations to this as used by Australian Forecasters and as presented during training at the Australian VLab Centre of Excellence". RGB Experts and Developers Workshop 2017 Tokyo, Japan Presenter: Bodo Zeschke. Bureau of Meteorology Training Centre, Australian VLab Centre of Excellence Point of Contact Should you use these resources please acknowledge the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Training Centre. In addition, you need to retain acknowledgement in the PowerPoint slides of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and any other sources of information.

2 Contents of this session Sandwich Product midlatitude vs tropical tuning Indonesia / Malaysia / Singapore examples Variations in tuning of Sandwich Products (altering contrast and brightness in HRV channel) Kurnell storm example Sandwich Product and lightning / radar data Korea example Sandwich Day Convection RGB product NW Australia example

3 Some satellite products for the monitoring of Convection modifications of the conventional "Sandwich Product" Upper layer: IR10.8 BT image 20C Mid latitude 70C Bottom layer ( background ): HRV image Blending options applied to the upper layer 20C Tropical 80C Upper layer opacity set somewhere between 40 to 75% I have chosen 50% for the Sandwich Product, adapted from "Satellite Observations of Storm Tops (part 1)" Martin Setvak, Czech Hydrometeorological Institute

12 HRV Introducing the Day Convection RGB Sandwich Product (from the EUMETSAT CHMI Course on the use of Rapid Scan data for monitoring and nowcasting of High Impact Weather) sandwich HRV & storm RGB sandwich HRV & IR10.8 BT

13 Some satellite products for the monitoring of Convection the "modified Day Convection RGB / Visible Sandwich Product" Upper layer: Day Convection RGB image Bottom layer ( background ): HRV image Day Convection RGB Range Gamma (Mid latitude) WV6.2 WV7.3 BTD 35 to IR3.9 IR10.8 BTD 5 to NIR1.6 VIS0.6 REFL 75 to 25% 1.0 Day Convection RGB Range Gamma (Tropical) WV6.2 WV7.3 BTD 35 to IR3.9 IR10.8 BTD 5 to NIR1.6 VIS0.6 REFL 75 to 25% 1.0 Blending options applied to the upper layer Upper layer opacity set to 75% for the Day Convection RGB Sandwich Product The contrast and brightness of the HRV images has also been adjusted. I have chosen: Contrast: 300% Brightness: 110% Contrast: 400% Brightness: 170%
