EUMETSAT supports the operational monitoring and forecasting of the weather with observations provided by the Metop and Meteosat satellites.

These satellites provide data on temperature, humidity, ocean wind, clouds, and many more essential observations for weather forecasting.

Temperature, humidity, and wind studies

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

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

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

Experts at EUMETSAT use these observations in scientific studies with the goal of creating improved products that best meet the evolving needs of meteorologists, climate researchers, and others who contribute to weather, climate, and environmental monitoring.
