FAQ
NAT to PSD Conversion
What are NAT files?
NAT is the native archive format of Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), the European weather satellite series operated by EUMETSAT. A file of this type holds one full image of the Earth disk taken by the SEVIRI radiometer, which scans the whole disk every 15 minutes and records it in 12 spectral channels, from visible light to thermal infrared. Eleven of the channels have a ground resolution of about 3 kilometers at the point below the satellite, and the twelfth, a high-resolution visible channel, has 1 kilometer. Such images are the basis of weather forecasting, cloud and fog monitoring, dust and volcanic ash tracking, and climate research. A typical file is named after the satellite and the time of the scan, and it is large, because it holds all the channels together.
What are PSD files?
PSD is the default format for handling images using Adobe Photoshop and it represents a layered image file. PSDs allow later editing of available layers, including transparency, masks, alpha channels and texts, among others. After applying all desired editing, PSD files can be saved in Photoshop under more easily recognizable formats, such as JPEG or PNG, which are also smaller in size but flatten the image and hence do not allow later editing of layers.
