Welcome to the
CM SAF Web User Interface

The Web User Interface (WUI) is the link between our users and the, from satellite data generated, CM SAF products. WUI will help you to order products online. At the moment we distribute our products via CD, DVD, e-mail attachment (small data amounts only) or temporary FTP-Access.

May 2012: New HOAPS data set available

The Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite Data (HOAPS) set is a completely satellite based climatology of precipitation, evaporation and freshwater budget (evaporation minus precipitation) as well as related turbulent heat fluxes and atmospheric state variables over the global ice free oceans. All HOAPS products have global coverage and are available as monthly averages and 6-hourly composites on a regular latitude/longitude grid.

To get access to the HOAPS data set, at first you have to extend your customer class in your user profile!

What is the Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring?

EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF) is dedicated to the long-term monitoring of the climate system's state and variability. It generates and archives satellite-derived near-real time climate monitoring products on a continuous basis as well as high-quality validated, homogeneous and consistent time-series. CM SAF is a consortium with contributions of several European meteorological services (FMI, KNMI, MeteoSwiss, RMIB, SMHI) with Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD, Germany) as the leading entity.

CM SAF provides data sets of several cloud parameters, surface albedo, radiation fluxes at the top of the atmosphere and at the surface, atmospheric temperature and water vapour profiles as well as vertically integrated water vapour (total, layered integrated).
