EUMETSAT (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) is an intergovernmental organisation created through an international convention agreed by a current total of 30 European Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. These States fund the EUMETSAT programs and are the principal users of the systems. EUMETSAT also has 1 Cooperating State. Cooperation agreements with Serbia have entered into force. The convention establishing EUMETSAT was opened for signature in 1983 and entered into force on 19 June 1986.
EUMETSAT's primary objective is to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites. EUMETSAT is responsible for the launch and operation of the satellites and for delivering satellite data to end-users as well as contributing to the operational monitoring of climate and the detection of global climate changes.

'Inside EUMETSAT' is a Vlogging project, in collaboration with the L-zone, executed by myself Jonas, whilst working as an intern at EUMETSAT over the last 4 months. This series covers my personal impression of what it’s like to work at Europe’s Organisation for Meteorological Satellites. Tune in every Thursday on this channel to follow my journey behind the scenes in Darmstadt where Phil Harvey, my tour guide, covers the basics of weather monitoring. ****Music**** Flamingosis- Ohhh Baby: [https://soundcloud.com/flamingosis/ohhh-baby] Follow Flamingosis here: [https://soundcloud.com/flamingosis] Jay Hudson- Life: [https://soundcloud.com/jayhudsonmusic/life] Follow Jay Hudson here: [https://soundcloud.com/jayhudsonmusic]

A movie of weather over Europe during April 2015. The 'Natural Colour RGB' images used in the movie are taken from EUMETSAT's Meteosat-10 satellite in geostationary orbit 36,000 km above the Earth. The Natural Colour RGB product makes use of three solar channels: VIS0.6, VIS0.8 and NIR1.6. In this colour scheme vegetation appears greenish because of its large reflectance in the VIS0.8 channel (the green beam) compared to the NIR1.6 (red beam) and VIS0.6 (blue beam) channels. Water clouds with small droplets have large reflectance at all three channels and hence appear whitish, while snow and ice clouds appears cyan because ice strongly absorbs in NIR1.6 (no red). Bare ground appears brown because of the larger reflectance in the NIR1.6 than at VIS0.6, and the ocean appears black becaus...
This visualisation, comprised of imagery from the geostationary satellites of EUMETSAT, NOAA and the JMA, shows an entire year of weather across the globe during 2015, with audio commentary from Mark Higgins, Training Manager at EUMETSAT. The visualisation has been produced by EUMETSAT's data visualisation team and is composed of a satellite infrared data layer superimposed over NASA's 'Blue Marble Next Generation' ground maps, which change with the seasons.

A new cartoon explains how Europe's weather satellites work, out in the harsh environment of space, and how the data they collect is used for weather forecasts. Find out more on EUMETSAT's Learning Zone - http://www.l-zone.info/spacecraft The voiceover is by BBC science presenter, Dr Adam Rutherford (http://adamrutherford.com/), and the cartoon was produced by Kershoot (http://www.DcTurner.net).

EUMETSAT feiert 2016 Jubiläum. Schon seit 30 Jahre lieferte die Europäischen Organisation für meteorologische Satelliten Wetterdaten und hilft so, dass wir immer wissen ob morgen die Sonne scheint oder ob es regnet. Zum Jubiläum ist das zdf Morgenmagazin am 5. Mai live in Darmstadt zu Gast.

A movie of weather over Europe during September 2014. September in Europe started with the remnants of Hurricane Cristobal, and there were several heavy rain episodes during the month - in Nuremburg, Germany on 7 September, in Austria on 12 September and in Sweden on 21 and 22 September. Southern France suffered flooding on 17 September and at the end of the month. Vienna had twice the September average rainfall, while the United Kingdom had its driest start to September for 50 years. Fog caused delays at airports such as Amsterdam, Zurich, and Lisbon on 16 September, and again on 18 September in Stockholm Arlanda, Leeds, London City, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Istanbul Ataturk, and Zakynthos. The autumnal equinox took place early in the hours of 23 September and some areas experienced their fi...

Time lapse movie of EUMETSAT images
This sequences of images from Eumetsat's geostationary Meteosat 10 satellite at 0° longitude shows islands (including the Canary Islands) in the Eastern Atlantic ocean acting as windbreaks and triggering the formation of atmospheric vortices. The images begin on 13th May 2013 at 17:15 UTC and end on 5th June 2013 at 08:45 UTC. The spectral channels used are - Infra-Red 10.8µm (micrometre) on the red (100%), green (100%) and blue (20%) colour channels, and Infra-Red 3.9µm on the blue (80%). The data used to generate the images used in this sequence are licensed for use by us, the Liverpool Astronomical Society, by Eumetsat. The area visible can be seen on the Google Map at the following link: http://maps.google.com/?ll=31.802893,...
I took my TBS Discovery with me on our roadtrip through Spain and Portugal. Unfortunately I only made 3 flights. The first at a small coastal village (Velilla-Taramay) near Motril. The second was in Ronda, which is famous for it's majestic bridge. The third flight didn't end as planned though. In the most southern city of Spain, Tarifa, I flew around the harbor filming tourist boats, when suddenly all control was lost. Video link was stil working so I saw my precious fall straight into the water, along with the GoPro. Now I'm starting all over again, sponsors would be helpful!
