The new EUMETView service provides functionalities for displaying visualisations and creating maps from across the EUMETSAT product range. EUMETView is an Online Map Service (OMS) that provides these visualisations through a customisable web user interface (WebUI) and an enhanced set of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard APIs.
How to access EUMETView
The new EUMETView service can be accessed through the Earth Observation Portal or directly via https://view.eumetsat.int. To get the most out of the service, new users will require a user registration, and the EUMETSAT data policy applies. Existing users will be able to use their current Earth Observation Portal credentials to access the new data access services.
EUMETView's capability is accessible via a WebUI and API. You can personalise data viewing, adding layers by satellite/theme, and save these settings for future use. Personalisation allows you to change the area of interest, map projection, base maps and overlays. In addition, an innovative time navigation interface allows users to navigate several products concurrently in time, to help in understanding product availability. Maps can be animated and downloaded, as can the corresponding georeferenced products. Further functionality allows you to view data as point-based information, and as time series. Maps may be saved in either ‘Event mode’, tying the view to a specific point in time for later recall, or ‘Live mode’, where the latest updated version of the map will be recalled when requested. The Product Navigator will stay up to date with the latest datasets that are available for viewing.
The API allow users to integrate EUMETView in to other applications and systematically download images and products without access the web user interface. For more information on the new EUMETView service, including the use of the APIs, please see our EUMETView knowledge base documentation. Training material, in the form of Jupyter Notebooks, is also available to help you learn about new EUMETView functionality.
User support and providing your feedback
We welcome user feedback on all our data access services including the new EUMETView. If you would like to provide feedback please contact our User Service Helpdesk. To help users use the service, we have a created a knowledge base. Training material, in the form of Jupyter Notebooks, will be available to help you learn about EUMETView functionality.
