Eumetsat satellites gathered 30 years of weather data

Meteosat satellites have provided 30 years of weather data to date, Eumetsat announced on 16 August.

“This is one of the longest time series of climate relevant data collected by satellite in the world,” said Jörg Schulz, climate product expert in Eumetsat’s meteorological operations division. “Three decades is just enough to start looking at decadal variations,” he added.
