This summer, Europe's first operational sounding satellite in geostationary orbit - #MTG-S1 - will launch, delivering groundbreaking capabilities for forecasting and atmospheric monitoring! DYK it will carry 2⃣ missions on board? 🔹 Infrared Sounder (IRS) – Scans Europe every 30 minutes for temperature and humidity, improving extreme weather predictions 🔹 Copernicus Sentinel-4 – Monitoring air quality every 60 minutes, it will track pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and sulphur dioxide,

This animation shows just how the new instruments on board the #Meteosat Third Generation satellites will produce much higher-resolution imagery than that of the second-generation spacecraft 😮 | EUMETSAT

🛰️Recently, EUMETSAT released pre-operational data from the Lightning Imager aboard its Meteosat Third Generation (MTG-I1) weather satellite. Once operational, this data will help forecasters track severe storms and issue timely weather warnings. 🌍 The Lightning Imager's extensive coverage of Africa will help to realize the #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative. ⚡ Here are a few days' worth of lightning detections—observing the lightning patterns and movements is fascinating. Kudos to Simon Proud, E
