Case study 24 September, 24 October 2019–8 November Active Indian Ocean tropical cyclone season 2019 saw a lot of cyclonic activity in the northern Indian Ocean, with five systems being generated. Case study 22 April 2019 12:00 UTC, 23 April 06:00–12:30 UTC, 24 April 06:00 UTC Dust over Europe Two dust clouds, one from northern Africa and one from Central Europe, travelled north towards Iceland and Greenland in late April 2019.

Case study January–December 2019 Image Library top ten for 2019 A look at our most popular case studies from 2019. Case study 15 November 2018 07:00–15:00 UTC Contrail shadows over the stratus Unusually shaped shadow contours of high contrail clouds, casted over the wide stratus field, were explored through various VIIRS (i.e. FCI proxy) and SEVIRI products. Case study 27 October 2018 00:00 UTC–02 November 00:00 UTC Intense Mediterranean cyclone's alpine crossing A cyclone that intensified over Mediterranean waters took a very direct path over the Alps. Case study 30 June 2018 00:00–23:00 UTC Sharp moisture boundary seen by SEVIRI and MODIS A sharp low level moisture boundary that stretched over the central Europe in June 2018, was well observed by both the SEVIRI Dust RGB product and MODIS 0.935 µm channel. Case study May–September 2018 A summer of heatwaves and drought for many Summer 2018 in much of Europe was characterised by prolonged heatwaves, leading to droughts in some areas. Case study 25 April 2018 06:00 UTC–26 April 12:00 UTC Severe flash floods in parts of Israel A series of flash floods occurred in parts of Israel, throughout April 2018. Case study 27 March 2018–6 April 12:12 UTC Ice melting in the Baltic Sea After a dark Nordic winter, the Meteosat Natural Colour RGB provides a view of day time ice through the combination of 0.8 µm, 1.6 µm and 3.9 µm — optimal to separate land, ice or cloud. Case study 20 March 2018 03:00 UTC Sunglint during March equinox Satellite imagery during the Spring Equinox (Autumn in Southern Hemisphere) captured very obvious sunglint near the Equator.
