CMA Administrator Zhenlin Chen (left) and EUMETSAT Director-General Phil Evans (right) signed the five-year extension to the agreement, which relates to data application, exchange and redistribution.
The first agreement between the CMA and EUMETSAT came into effect in 1998. The benefits include access by EUMETSAT data users to observations from the CMA’s geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites.
The EUMETSAT Council approved the extension to the agreement at its meeting in July 2023.
Mr Chen’s first official overseas visit as the new CMA Administrator was to EUMETSAT in May 2023.
