EUMETSAT supports the operational monitoring and forecasting of the ocean with observations provided by the Meteosat, Metop, and Copernicus Sentinel-3 and -6 satellites.

These satellites provide data on many features of the ocean including colour, surface temperature, and sea level.

Ocean biogeochemistry, ocean dynamics, and water quality studies

To continually improve the quality of the marine data we provide and to respond to user needs, EUMETSAT organises scientific studies.

These studies aim to evolve the existing operational marine products, to prepare for data from planned satellites such as Metop-SG and MTG, and to develop new products.

All studies on the ocean are listed below and are grouped by satellite.
