'Real-time images' offers a comprehensive compilation of EUMETSAT satellite products reproduced in graphical form.  The service is provided on a 24/7 basis and the image files displayed are automatically refreshed with the latest, openly available data from the EUMETSAT satellites. In addition, a limited archive of 100 files per product is provided.

The real-time images service incorporates satellite image-data loops, visualised products derived from satellite data and a selection of RGB composite images.

Note: All EUMETSAT data and products are subject to EUMETSAT copyright. If you wish to re-use these images, credit should be shown by including "copyright {year} EUMETSAT" (where {year} is the current year) on each of the images shown.

	Image-related product types:
			Near-Real Time Imagery		Near-real time imagery is available as direct observations from the spectral channels of the Meteosat 0 degree and IODC satellites and from the AVHRR instrument on board the polar-orbiting Metop satellite.
			Visualised Products		A series of visualised products from the Meteosat meteorological product suite (Meteosat 0 degree and IODC), e.g. Fire, Global Instability Index, Atmospheric Motion Vectors, Multi-sensor Precipitation Estimate, etc.
			RGB Composites		A selection of Meteosat 0 degree and Metop imagery developed using the RGB compositing technique which offers the possibility of compressing multi-spectral information content for optimum visualisation.
