Intense #wildfires 🔥 have broken out north of #Athens, seen here by our MTG-I1 satellite yesterday, 11 August. Fire hotspots and thick smoke plume are visible from #space between 11:00 - 17:30 UTC. Evacuations are in place as emergency workers try to keep the fires under control. #climatecrisis *Please note: MTG-I1's FCI imagery has been declared pre-operational after preliminary validation, however, this data is still undergoing testing and is not for operational use at this time.* European Space Agency - ESA

European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites. Monitoring weather and climate since 1986.
Info
EUMETSAT is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and the environment from space. We operate a system of meteorological satellites that observe the atmosphere and ocean and land surfaces – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This data is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's member and cooperating states in Europe, as well as other users worldwide. The service provided by EUMETSAT helps to enhance and safeguard the daily lives of European citizens. They aid meteorologists in identifying and monitoring the development of potentially dangerous weather situations and in issuing timely forecasts and warnings to emergency services and local authorities, helping to mitigate the effects of severe weather and protecting human life and property. This information is also critical to the safety of air travel, shipping and road traffic, and to the daily business of farming, construction and many other industries. Account monitored Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 CET. For general enquiries, please contact: [email protected] For user support, please contact: [email protected]

🌍 EUMETSAT: Strengthening Climate Monitoring in Africa The latest #StateOfClimate report from WMO and AUC underscores the need for enhanced climate monitoring and #EarlyWarningsForAll across Africa. 🚀 Our new Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellites deliver high-resolution data, essential for tracking weather and climate patterns and improving Early Warning Systems. 📡 As part of the EU-funded ClimSA project, in collaboration with the AUC and the EC's Joint Research Centre, new PUMA-2025 and Climate stations are being deployed across Africa. These stations provide access to MTG data and Copernicus Climate Change Services, empowering national services with critical tools for climate action. Both stations will be presented at the 16th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa, taking place on 16-20 September 2024 in Cotonou, Benin. EUMETSAT remains committed to supporting Africa’s climate resilience through advanced satellite technology and strong partnerships. #ClimateMonitoring #EUMETSAT #MTG #PUMA2025 #ClimSA #Copernicus #Africa #SatelliteData #ClimateAction
🌍 Africa bears an increasingly heavy burden from climate change and disproportionately high costs for essential climate adaptation, as highlighted by the #StateOfClimate. 🚨 African countries need to prioritize increased investment in National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and accelerate implementation of the #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative to save lives and livelihoods. 💪🏿 This will help mitigate risks, build adaptive capacity, enhance local, national, and regional resilience, and guide #ClimateAction strategies for #OurCommonFuture. 📊 Check out the full report: https://lnkd.in/e-YvY8Mz

🌍 Space for Early Warning in Africa 🌍 In two weeks, 150 participants will gather in Cotonou, Benin, for the 16th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa. 🛰️ The first Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) data are now being broadcasted to Africa via EUMETCast. 📡 The @AucClimsa has started deploying PUMA-2025 stations in each Sub-Saharan country, enabling forecasters to access and interpret the satellite data. (link to this story https://lnkd.in/eF-DR56z) 🚨 This Forum will be a platform to discuss how MTG data can enhance Early Warnings for Extreme Weather Events in Africa. Stay tuned! #EUMETSAT #MTG #Africa #SpaceForEarlyWarning #EarlyWarningForAll #AMHEWAS #16UFA #EOAfrica #ClimSA #World Meteorological Organization #DARBE -AUC #European Commission #ClimSA Programme

EUMETSAT hat dies direkt geteilt
Did you know that the #SeaIce is drifting? The ice can move up to several tens of kilometers per day due to ocean currents, winds and ice internal stresses. This drift has many repercussions on polar ocean dynamics. Our teams at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute | Meteorologisk institutt and the Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut are using satellite observations 🛰 to track the ice motions, and provide data for #meteorological application and #climate studies in the name of EUMETSAT. Image : Visualisation of the sea ice drift in the Weddel and Lazarev sea (Antarctica) recorded during July 2024. Data from our product Global Low Resolution Sea Ice Drift (https://lnkd.in/eC-bcGN4), visualisation available on our product quicklook (https://lnkd.in/ebJJF9Em).

Germany is setting new standards in Earth observation and weather forecasting with the delivery of the METimage multispectral radiometer to EUMETSAT and the European Space Agency - ESA today. 🛰 This advanced instrument, managed by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur im DLR) and developed by Airbus Defence and Space, will set new standards in weather and #climate forecasting, enhancing accuracy in observing clouds, ice, vegetation, and more. Read more below:
Hightech aus Deutschland für weltweit bessere Wettervorhersagen! Insbesondere Wolken, Eisbedeckung, Oberflächentemperaturen von Land & Ozeanen, Vegetation und Brände können durch das METimage-Instrument so präzise wie nie zuvor gemessen werden. Damit werden genauere Klima- und Wettervorhersagen möglich. Deutschland wird heute ein hochmodernes Messinstrument, das Multispektralradiometer "METimage" an die Europäische Organisation für die Nutzung meteorologischer Satelliten EUMETSAT und European Space Agency - ESA ausliefern. Die Entwicklung und der Bau wurden von uns gemanagt und vom Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr zusammen mit EUMETSAT finanziert. Das Instrument wurde von Airbus Defence and Space in Friedrichshafen entwickelt und gefertigt. Zwei weitere Flugmodelle befinden sich noch im Bau. Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V.
