EUMETSAT Monitoring weather and climate from space

Slide: 2


EUMETSAT objectives

• The primary objective is to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites

• A further objective is to contribute to the operational monitoring of the climate as well as the detection of global climatic changes

• Furthermore, environmental issues which drive or are driven by meteorological conditions are considered

Slide: 3


EUMETSAT’s mission is….

To deliver operational satellite data and products that meet the meteorological and climate data requirements of its Member States, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through decades

This is carried out taking into account the recommendations of

the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Slide: 4


Weather forecasting

Value of weather forecasting to economy is > 20 times budget of public weather

service

Contribution from satellite data > 35%
