FAQ
NAT to QOI 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 QOI files?
QOIQOI (Quite OK Image) is a fast, lossless image format designed as a simpler alternative to PNG. It offers similar compression quality but with much faster encoding/decoding speeds, making it ideal for applications where performance matters.
