INTRODUCTION
- SINERGEE aims
- Comparison of GERB L2 broadband fluxes with Met Office forecast model (analysis times 00,06,12,18 GMT)
- July Means, Clear-sky sampling
- Data issues (geolocation, resolution, bad data, ADMs)
- Model Issues (Sahara, convection, cloud properties)

Conclusions (1)
• DATA problems– Geolocation (spatial comparison, processing)
– Resolution
– Albedo diurnal cycle (problems at 06z)
– Limb darkening in East? (Lower OLR and Higher albedo)
– Meteosat data replacement = Bad
• Model problems– Too much stratocumulus
– 12z Convection (too early, lack of organisation)
– Dark Sahara / Hot Sahara
– ITCZ positioning

Conclusions (2)
• Quality of BARG improved recently (August)• ARG - reasonable quality (res/geo probs)• ADMs? – bright at 06z, dark at 18z• Bad data (manual correction?):
– Geolocation– light stripes, dark bands (E/W)– Dark bands (N/S)
• Future comparison of SEVIRI with UM simulations• http://www.nerc-essc.ac.uk/~rpa/GERB/gerb.html
