Meteosat 8/EUMETSAT infrared image of the explosion Animation of 2008 TC3's orbit 2008 TC3 · Sun · Earth The meteor entered Earth's atmosphere above northern Sudan at 02:46 UTC (05:46 local time) on October 7, 2008, with a velocity of 12.8 kilometers per second (29,000 mph) at an azimuth of 281 degrees and an altitude angle of 19 degrees to ...
After modifying the ground image processing system the Rapid Scan Service image quality was restored back to nominal. [3] On 29 June 2016, EUMETSAT approved the proposal of relocating Meteosat-8 to 41.5°E, for the continuation of the Indian Ocean Data Coverage (IODC), replacing Meteosat-7. [4] Meteosat-8 arrived at 41.5°E on 21 September.
The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) is an intergovernmental organisation created through an international convention agreed by a current total of 30 European Member States. EUMETSAT's primary objective is to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites.
Satellite imagery shows how Mount Etna erupted in the early hours of Monday, 14 August. In this clip, from the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) a ...
Weather satellite images helped in monitoring the volcanic ash cloud from Mount St. Helens and activity from other volcanoes such as Mount Etna. [2] Smoke from fires in the western United States such as Colorado and Utah have also been monitored. El Niño and its effects on weather are
The process is aimed at capturing the foreseeable needs of users of EUMETSAT's satellite data in the 2015-2025 timeframe. [12] On 19 March 2010, ESA chose Thales Alenia Space for a final negotiation leading to a contract to be signed during June. [13] On 22 June 2010, EUMETSAT confirmed the choice of Thales Alenia Space. [14]
A Sentinel-3 image shows true colour (left) and land temperature (right) during the 2021 Eurasia winter heat wave. SLSTR (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) determines global sea-surface temperatures to an accuracy of better than 0.3 K (0.3 °C; 0.5 °F). It measures in nine spectral channels and two additional bands optimised for ...
EUMETCast satellite includes data and derived products from the geostationary Meteosat satellites, Meteosat-7 (over the Indian Ocean), 8, 9 and 10 and the Metop-A, B & C and NOAA polar orbiting satellites, plus data from other meteorological programmes, such as Jason-2 (the Ocean Surface Topography Mission).
