4 State of the Art of Satellite Crisis Information (ZKI) Mapping after the storm For Forecast: Global Sat Data at Weather Centers in Routine Use, Needed: Improvement of Measurements for Wind and Waves in Storms as well as better assimilation schemes Needed: NRT Delivery Schemes for Measurements from SAR Image Data, e.g. ENVISAT ASAR for hurricanes and typhoons In near Coastal Areas high resolution X-Band Data are newly available for better Topography, Input Wind Field, Near Shore Sea State, up to now NRT only for ship detection Folie 4

5 Existing: Use of Satellite Altimeter Data at DWD Data Assimilation ERS-2 JASON ENVISAT Radar Altimeter significant wave height, wind speed Quality Control Interpolation Thomas Bruns, DWD Folie 5
