EUMETSAT

European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, and the environment from 🛰️ Account monitored Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 CET.
(3)

We operate a system of meteorological satellites that observe the atmosphere, ocean and land surfaces – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This data is supplied to the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of the organisation's member and cooperating states in Europe, as well as other users worldwide. The service provided by EUMETSAT helps to enhance and safeguard the daily lives of Euro

pean citizens. They aid meteorologists in identifying and monitoring the development of potentially dangerous weather situations and in issuing timely forecasts and warnings to emergency services and local authorities, helping to mitigate the effects of severe weather and protecting human life and property. This information is also critical to the safety of air travel, shipping and road traffic, and to the daily business of farming, construction and many other industries.

EUMETSAT’s 40th anniversary is almost here and we are marking the milestone by highlighting the people who are part of our history. 🎂✨🚀

In his youth, Alessandro Burini imagined how the features he saw from above on a plane would appear from the point of view of someone on the ground. Later, this fascination led him to pursue a career in Earth observation.

As EUMETSAT’s Flexible Combined Imager Instrument Scientist, Alessandro guides the team that ensures the instrument, present on both Meteosat Third Generation imager satellites, fulfils its purpose: https://bit.ly/4u2G9kM

Did you know that phytoplankton are microscopic marine algae that form the basis of marine food chains? 🪸🐟🪼

Our image of the week shows probable phytoplankton swirls in the southern Black Sea. The image was captured by one of the Sentinel-3 satellites on 25 May 2026.

Phytoplankton also play a key role in sustaining life on Earth as they are responsible for producing over half of the world’s oxygen and they help regulate the climate as they absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
