Monitoring weather and climate from space

EUMETSAT Data Centre

The EUMETSAT Data Centre provides long-term preservation of data and generated products from the EUMETSAT Application Ground Segments. The online ordering facility provides users access to these time-series data.


 

The Data Centre aims to:

  • Guarantee a long-term preservation of data and generated products from EUMETSAT’s meteorological satellites.
  • Enable users to browse; make automated orders and retrieve data from EUMETSAT's catalogue of products.


Set up in 1995, the EUMETSAT Data Centre quickly developed to become a state-of-the-art archive serving all EUMETSAT satellite programmes. With more than 25 years of meteorological satellite products available, the EUMETSAT Data Centre offers one of Europe’s largest and most comprehensive collections in this field.
