The LSA SAF exploits remotely-sensed data on land, land-atmosphere interactions and biosphere applications.
Nowcasting is a weather forecast for the next few hours, based on current information.
The OSI SAF provides comprehensive information on the ocean-atmosphere interface.
The AC SAF processes satellite data on ozone, other trace gases, aerosols and ultraviolet data.
The ROM SAF generates and archives high-quality GNSS Radio Occultation (RO) data for NWP.
Our satellites orbit the Earth at the same speed as the Earth rotates, thus observing systematically the same part of the Earth.
