Eumetsat Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis

The LSA SAF is part of the distributed EUMETSAT (European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) Application Ground Segment. It is focused on the development and processing of satellite products that characterize the continental surfaces, such as radiation products, vegetation, evapotranspiration and wild fires.

The LSA SAF, hosted by the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) is a joint venture of the following NMHSs and Universities together with EUMETSAT.

The LSA SAF website describes the status of the satellite products developed within LSA SAF consortium, monitors the products and its quality.

As maximum granule of produced LSA SA satellite products is 15 min. and the website monitors such products, this is the frequency of the resource update.
