The main purpose of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) is to deliver weather, climate and environment-related satellite data, images and products – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Image Gallery provides access to a selection of near-real-time imagery from Meteosat-9 and Meteosat-7, in geostationary orbits above 0 degrees and 57 degrees longitude respectively, as well as from Metop, orbiting the Earth around 14 times per day.

Special case studies are selected and published regularly in the Case Studies Gallery. These cover a variety of interesting and educational studies of special events ranging from hurricanes, dust storms, solar eclipses, volcano eruptions and severe convection. It is easy to do searches on specific topics, different satellites, particular regions of the world, and a range of satellite products.

Real-time Imagery, Case Studies and Topical Images
Real-time imagery Near real-time imagery is available as direct observations or as derived products from the spectral channels of Meteosat-9 (0 degrees), Meteosat-7 over the Indian Ocean and from the AVHRR instrument on board the polar-orbiting Metop satellite.	Case Studies At regular intervals, EUMETSAT selects a satellite image/product that demonstrates interesting phenomena or weather situations in various regions of the world, showing the vast range of applications of satellite data.
Topical Images EUMETSAT produces and archives fascinating Meteosat and Metop Images of various situations, capturing extreme weather and dramatic environmental phenomena such as hurricanes, blizzards, dust storms, floods and volcano eruptions. Many of these images are displayed in the Topical Images Catalogue.
