summary
The equipment can receive and process the data of the new generation of Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite sunflower 8. Compared with MTSAT, the performance of sunflower 8 satellite has been greatly improved. From 5 channels in MTSAT period to 16 channels (3 visible, 3 near-infrared and 10 infrared). Kuihua 8 accelerated the frequency of observation. The overall observation interval of Kuihua 8 was shortened to 10 minutes, i.e. 6 maps per hour and 144 maps per day. Sunflower 8 improved the horizontal resolution of the image. The horizontal resolution of sunflower 8 is twice that of MTSAT, that is, the resolution of visible light is 0.5 ~ 1km, and the resolution of infrared and near infrared is 1 ~ 2km.

QY-3 new generation meteorological satellite receiving and processing system adopts high-performance antenna feeder and digital satellite receiver. According to the cloud image characteristics of Kuihua 8 satellite, the product design of cloud image data processing is carried out, and the algorithms of precipitation estimation, sea fog detection and cloud classification are improved.
