Planning for the European Commission Copernicus Ocean Colour System Vicarious Calibration infrastructure (OC-SVC).

Reliable weather forecasts are essential for human safety.

Our satellites orbit the Earth at the same speed as the Earth rotates, thus observing systematically the same part of the Earth.

The EUMETSAT matrix organisation captures all the expertise required to deliver programmes agreed by the Council.

The Council is the supreme decision-making body of EUMETSAT to which the Director-General reports, as the Chief Executive Officer.

EUMETSAT’s vision is to be the leading user-driven operational agency in Europe for Earth observation satellite programmes that fulfil the objectives of its Convention.

EUMETSAT is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and the environment from space.

This project provides valuable Fiducial Reference Measurements from the Arctic region for the validation of several EUMETSAT, EU Copernicus and ESA missions.
