The first image from Meteosat Third Generation – Imager 1 reveals a level of detail about the weather over Europe and Africa not previously possible from 36 000 kmThe image of Earth, captured by the satellite’s Flexible Combined Imager on March 18, shows most of northern and western Europe and Scandinavia blanketed in clouds, while relatively clear skies are observed over Italy and the western Balkans.
"This image represents not just what can be achieved through European expertise but our determination to ensure the benefits of newThe ESA said that the instruments onboard the third generation of Meteosat meteorological satellites produce photos with a much higher resolution and more frequently than those on the Meteosat Second Generation satellites.
The photos show stunning details such as cloud vortices over the Canary Islands, snow in the Alps and sediment in the water along the coast of Italy.This animation from Meteosat Third Generation Imager-1 imagery, zooming in Europe, was made from one day’s worth of data, from 11:50 UTC 18 March to 11:50 UTC 19 March 2023. MTG-I1 produces images of the full Earth disc every 10 minutes.
The new photo of Earth also shows greater detail of the cloud structures at higher latitudes. The ESA says photos will enable weather forecasts to more accurately monitor the evolution of rapidly developing
