EUMETSAT

🌀 Storm Austen captured this morning at 09:30 UTC by Meteosat-12. This view shows the storm over central Europe after hitting the UK and Ireland. Geostationary satellites like Meteosat observe severe weather systems to help support timely public warnings and forecasts. 🛰️🌍 @tonyveco.bsky.social

🌀 Super Typhoon Champi from space 🛰️ Captured early today, these #Copernicus Sentinel-3 images show 2026's strongest storm so far travelling across the Pacific, with wind gusts up to 360 km/h. While the wide view shows its scale, the zoom reveals a detailed look inside its eye.

🚨 Last chance to get involved! We're extending registration until Thursday for our #DestinE Data Lake Edge Services workshop (2-3 Nov, Darmstadt). See project demos, share experiences, and discuss data-intensive applications. 📩 users-dedl@eumetsat.int 🔗 bit.ly/4Be84CX

❄️ Following its 15 Sept launch, #Copernicus Sentinel-3C has sent its first image from the SLSTR instrument! Our Image of the Week shows a 2 Oct spring storm off the coast of East Antarctica, with spiralling cloud bands & sea ice in fine detail. Learn more: bit.ly/3U5WCsA

🚢 Journey complete for Metop-SGB1! After crossing the Atlantic on the Canopée vessel from Bordeaux, the satellite has safely arrived in Pariacabo, the port of Kourou in French Guiana. 🎥 Discover what this next-gen mission will achieve: youtu.be/MInO4LHs92M?... 📸 @airbus.com

🔥 Monitoring Earth’s wildfires from space. How do EUMETSAT & #Copernicus track fires globally? By combining atmospheric models with high-res satellite imagery: 🛰️ Sentinel-3: Global imagery 🌍 Meteosat-12: Rapid scanning over Europe/Africa 💨 CAMS: Smoke/aerosol forecasts

With Sentinel-3C successfully launched on 15 September and returning its first images, data continuity for global fire and atmospheric monitoring is secured for years to come. 🛰️✨ Watch a full year of global 2025 fire & smoke activity in our latest video: bit.ly/4e89qoY

🆕: Europe’s 1st geostationary sounder enters service today! 🛰️ The satellite - renamed as 'Meteosat-13' - will detect signs of atmospheric instability even before clouds form: "Forecasters will see weather risks earlier... and that saves lives," says EUMETSAT DG Phil Evans: bit.ly/4zshitH

🌊 Saturday was International Coccolithophore Day! Did you know these tiny algae can be seen from space? 🛰️ When they bloom & shed large numbers of calcium-rich plates that scatter sunlight, the ocean turns a milky turquoise. Sentinel-3 tracks these "sentinels of change"! Learn more bit.ly/4yc4wyr

What is El Niño & how does it affect Europe?🌡️ A new EUMETSAT study shows this tropical Pacific warming shifts jet streams, making European summers warmer/drier & winters milder. Yet long-term human-induced climate change remains the main driver of rising temperatures.🌍 Learn more: bit.ly/4rYStTL

After five days of discussion and knowledge sharing, the 17th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa has come to a close. 🌍🛰️ A key theme throughout the week has been ensuring that satellite data can be received, accessed and used effectively to strengthen weather and climate services across Africa.

Spectacular first images from #Copernicus Sentinel-3C have arrived! 🤩🛰️ Captured two weeks post-launch, initial data covers Central Europe, the Mediterranean, Arctic sea ice & the Bahamas. The mission will monitor ocean colour, sea level, ice height & surface temperatures. Read more: bit.ly/4yD0Zu5

PUMA-2025 delivered! 🌍🛰️ Over the past two years, every sub-Saharan African country has been equipped with a PUMA-2025 station, enabling national meteorological services to receive and process MTG data distributed via EUMETCast-Africa.

"In emergency situations, every minute can count." ⛈️🛰️ In Zambia, meteorologist Enos Phiri used near-real-time MTG satellite data to track a rapidly intensifying storm and help strengthen warnings for communities at risk of extreme rainfall and flash flooding: www.eumetsat.int/features/whe...

Meteorologists, scientists & representatives from across Africa have welcomed a declaration calling for reliable satellite observations, effective early-warning tools, and the support needed to turn data into information that protects lives and livelihoods: www.eumetsat.int/eumetsat-del...
