Status of AMVs from Fengyun Satellites
This paper briefly introduces status of operational AMVs at NSMC/CMA. Recent improvements, new additions, processing changes and monitors, future plans of the Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) product suite will be discussed. The current satellite constellation for operational AMVs processing includes FY-2G (99.5oE), FY-2H (79oE) , FY-4A(104.7oE) and FY-4B(104.7oE). FY-4B, the first operational unit of FY-4 series (CMA new-generation geostationary meteorological satellite series), was placed into operation in May 2022. The operational frequency of FY4B AMVs is 15 minutes. Meanwhile, polar wind products from FY-3E satellite are being developed and will be operational in 2023.
