Twelve months on and another volcano in Iceland erupted — Grímsvötn. Once again, satellite imagery played a major role in helping scientists understand where the ash cloud was and where it was likely to go. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817843&l=en Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:41:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817843&l=en MSG-3, which is due to be launched on 19 June, safely arrived at its launch site on 13 April. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817568&l=en Wed, 11 Apr 2012 07:06:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817568&l=en Today (11 April) EUMETSAT’s international training project EUMETrain starts tracking the movements of the German research icebreaker Polarstern. The ship will be cruising from Punta Arenas (Chile) to Bremerhaven (arriving 16 May), taking continuous measurements of atmospheric and marine properties, plus energy and material fluxes between ocean and atmosphere. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817466&l=en Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:15:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817466&l=en The solar array has been added to Metop-B and has successfully passed performance tests. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817416&l=en Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:32:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817416&l=en While weather and environmental services in some parts of Europe have recently issued drought warnings, our Metop satellite has been monitoring soil moisture around the globe. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817350&l=en Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:24:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817350&l=en One definition of the word space is empty – but the space above the Earth is anything but empty. So is there room up there for any number of satellites to orbit the world safely? No, not according to our experts, who recently had to move one of our satellites to avoid a collision. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817147&l=en Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:44:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817147&l=en This year two new weather satellites will be launched by EUMETSAT. They aim to provide even more data to improve the accuracy of weather forecasts, especially through numerical weather prediction (NWP) which underpins the weather forecasts provided by National Meteorological Services. http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817127&l=en Thu, 22 Mar 2012 07:19:00 UTC http://www.eumetsat.int/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&ssDocName=817127&l=en The Metop-B satellite has successfully passed its health check confirming it is functioning well following the transport to launch site.
