The cooperation of VCS Engineering and the Laboratory for Climatology and Remote Sensing (LCRS) at Marburg University (Germany) resulted in the integration of different satellite receiving and processing systems based on improvements of the existing hard and software design at Marburg Satellite Station (MSS). In a joint-venture between VCS and LCRS the algorithms for Level 1b / 2a products for MSG SEVIRI, NOAA AVHRR (VCS) and Terra/Aqua MODIS developed at LCRS are integrated into the VCS software package 2met! (Linux/Windows). Even though higher level operational products of the LCRS (implemented in Fortran and Java) are not part of 2met! yet, its modular architecture allows for the easy integration of further components.
