real time , its products have many meteorological and research applications. Meteosat 9 satellite also carry the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget GERB instrument, this instrument monitors the Earth's radiation budget with the wave radiation calculation in the atmosphere. The MSG satellites have provided experimental evidence for the greenhouse effect. The GERB instrument has been measuring the difference between the radiation entering and radiation leaving the atmosphere.
