Observations from polar orbit benefit weather forecasting and climate monitoring on Earth.
In this era of seeming plenty, it’s shocking to learn that almost 124 million people faced crisis levels of food insecurity last year.
Dr Rasmus Tonboe explains what that means.
Metop-C is now safely orbiting the Earth after a spectacular and eagerly-awaited launch on 7 November.
It’s the second week aboard the Polarstern and the third blog post recording the adventure!
The research vessel Polarstern is currently travelling from Germany to Cape Town and a group of German meteorology students are reporting on its progress with weekly blog posts.
Lieven Clarisse and Martin Van Damme from ULB have reported on their findings in Nature this week and they are reproduced below on our Science Blog.
In previous blogs, it has been mentioned that once launched, Metop-C will fly in a “tri-star” constellation with its sibling spacecraft, Metop-A and –B.
Metop-C will be the third satellite in the EUMETSAT Polar System programme.
Today (8 June) is World Oceans Day and EUMETSAT is proud to bring you some out-of-this-world imagery of planet Earth’s oceans and seas.

If you’ve been following our blog, you’ll know Metop-C safely arrived in Kourou, French Guiana, aboard three massive Antonov cargo planes.
