So satisfying to watch 🤩 This week we revealed the first images from #MetopSGA1’s onboard METimage instrument - a new multi-spectral radiometer that supports precise observations of clouds, water vapour and aerosols, land and ocean surface temperatures, ice cover, vegetation and even active fires! Why does this matter? 🤔 In a year of deadly floods, searing heatwaves and devastating wildfires in Europe, the need for precise forecasts has never been more important. The data from METimage will help #weather services deliver earlier, more reliable forecasts, targeted warnings - helping better protect people and infrastructure. In this animation we see the results of Metop-SGA1 flying on its Sun-synchronous polar orbit. Because the orbit keeps the satellite in step with the Sun, it crosses each area at about the same local time on every pass. This global image is composed by stitching together pictures from 25-27 September - pretty cool if we do say so ourselves 😎 See more fresh im...
