Satellite data were used to monitor a red tide event in South Africa in early 2022.
The MIDAS project studied the use of scatterometer wind data within mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.
Instrument studies are important for assessing and improving weather, climate, and environmental data and products.

Earth observation data to assist in responses to risk and water management
EUMETSAT operates Europe’s weather and environmental monitoring satellites and provides data to users in Europe and beyond.
ADD-CROSS assesses the impact of cross-channel assimilation on air quality and numerical weather prediction (NWP).
AboutThe purpose of this study is to help estimate the individual impacts of current Aeolus observations and future EPS-Aeolus-like observations on NWP.

Research and development call currently open
This study aimed to enhance the EUMETSAT vicarious calibration system across a selection of bright desert pseudo-invariant calibration sites.

European State of the Climate 2023 details unwelcome records for heatwaves and extreme weather events
The bloom is most likely caused by coccolithophores (cyan colour) and other phytoplankton species. Phytoplankton play a key role in marine ecosystems as the basis of the food chain.
This week’s image of the week shows colourful phytoplankton off the coast of Argentina.
This week’s image of the week is of the Earth as seen from the vantage point of our Meteosat-10 geostationary weather satellite 36,000km above our planet.

A new case study highlights a valuable tool for estimating energy output from solar panels
Forecasting and monitoring the weather is essential for keeping people and property safe.
The atmosphere, a dynamic mixture of gases that surrounds the planet, sustains our lives by containing the air we breathe.
Nancy, France, 2 – 6 December 2024
Transitioning between generations of hyperspectral infrared sounders for weather, climate, atmospheric sciences and societal applications
EUMETSAT supports the operational monitoring of the Earth’s surface with observations provided by the Metop and Meteosat satellites.
The global ocean stores and transports solar radiation, drives weather systems, and influences the climate.

Today is the last chance to see the Arctic Weather Satellite in Europe before it is launched.
It is important to calibrate and validate satellite instruments to ensure their optimal performance.
This week’s image of the week is of the Earth as seen from the vantage point of geostationary weather satellites 36,000km above our planet.
The cloud patterns are known as von Kármán vortices and are formed over the ocean when islands disrupt the wind flow. The strength of the wind affects the patterns of the swirls.
