There is the new satellite from EUMETSAT for the 0 degree service that is now operational. It has a faster refresh (10min vs 15) and more channels (16 vs 12) and higher spatial resolution, so would be good to include.
Detailed Description
The MTG satellite is now fully operational, providing 16 spectral channels, with much higher resolution data than the MSG currently being used. The MTG will also eventually replace the MSG for the 0 degree service sometime next year (timeline is 6 months after it is operational).
Context
Higher resolution, more frequent data (every 10 minutes) can help with forecasting. It would also be nice to be able to have it in the GCP archive to make it more easily accessible.
Once pydata/xarray#9948 is merged, we could then write sharded Zarrs, which should cut down the massive number of chunks on disk we have with the current satellite imagery (and would be worse with MTG)
Using xbitinfo to get how many bits we need to keep 99.9% of the information in the imagery, we could save half the storage by going from float32 to float16.
For these, we could either keep float32 and use BitRound to reduce storage costs by making it more compressible, or change to float16, and potentially also use BitRound. The one issue is the ones that are quite close to or above 16 bits of info, the high resolution 500m visible channel, and the vis_09 and vis_04 channels in the low resolution as well.
@devsjc Any thoughts on what might be better approach? Wouldn't want to get rid of info, could also keep only some of the variables in float32, and the rest in float16 I guess

Possible Implementation
It is already available in the data store from September to now, both the high resolution data, and the nominal resolution data, in the Data Store.
