Abstract
Two ENAMORS objectives are especially relevant with respect to meteorological remote sensing activities: the validation of operational remote sensing products and the identification of further actions in methodological research for the development of novel applications, in particular in the framework of new European meteorological geostationary satellites. These two activities are closely related since validation is an important phase of new algorithm design. This paper covers therefore these two different topics. In section 2, the current Meteorological Product Extraction Facility (MPEF) exploited at EUMETSAT is presented and the problem of validation and operational quality control addressed.
