The MSG [Meteosat Second Generation] satellites will be some of those tools. They will offer weather forecasters and climate modellers more sophisticated images and data than their predecessors, the first generation of Meteosats. The MSG camera, called the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-red Imager (SEVIRI), will build up images of the Earth's surface and cloud cover in 12 different wavelengths once every 15 minutes, compared with three wavelengths once every 30 minutes for the camera on Meteosat. 2, record 2, English, - spinned%20enhanced%20visible%20and%20infrared%20imager

L'instrument le plus important est l'imageur visible et infrarouge amélioré non dégyré(SEVIRI), une version perfectionnée du radiomètre équipant les précédents satellites Météosat. Alors que les instruments plus anciens ne peuvent mesurer le rayonnement réfléchi par la surface terrestre et l'atmosphère que dans trois canaux spectraux-lumière visible, infrarouge thermique et vapeur d’eau-SEVIRI sera en mesure d’enregistrer 12 longueurs d’ondes. Cela lui permettra de recueillir un éventail de données beaucoup plus large, susceptibles de nourrir les modèles numériques servant à prédire le temps. 2, record 2, French, - imageur%20visible%20et%20infrarouge%20am%C3%A9lior%C3%A9%20non%20d%C3%A9gyr%C3%A9

The main advantage of imaging spectrometers in comparison to conventional optional mechanical multi spectral scanners is the availability of a large number of narrow band width spectral channels combined with ... specific selection feature of a few channels for data recording or transmission. ... The Narrow band width channels permit a detailed analysis of spectral fine structures ... As a result these sensors will permit an essential improvement of data interpretation for environmental monitoring. 2, record 4, English, - imaging%20spectrometer

Pour maximiser l'information recueillie sur le comportement infrarouge d’une cible, les scientifiques [...] ont réussi à regrouper en un seul système les points forts du radiomètre, de l'imageur thermique et du spectromètre. Il s’agit du spectromètre imageur, qui permet de recueillir davantage de renseignements que la somme des mesures obtenues avec chacun des appareils unidimensionnels. Le fait d’inclure une dimension spatiale à la technologie de mesure de spectres infrarouges constitue une importante percée en imagerie à haute résolution spectrale. 3, record 4, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20imageur
