Meteosat Image Archive of the Northern Atlantic, Europe and North Africa

It has been launched by the European Space Agency and is operated by Eumetsat. It provides images of the globe at both visible and infra-red wavelengths.

Data are transmitted every half hour to the Eumetsat operational base station in Germany, where they are processed before being disseminated to other stations such as the Meteosat Wefax Ground Station at the University of Nottingham. Data held at the BADC are daily mirrored from the Meteosat archive at the University of Nottingham. We mirror images of that portion of the Meteosat view field encompassing Northern Atlantic, Europe and North Africa, in all available channels (visible, thermal and water vapour infra-red bands), plus zooms of Northern Atlantic and Europe in the visible.
