Europe's First Geostationary Sounder, Meteosat-13, Enters Service for Advanced Storm Tracking

Data from the Infrared Sounder on the first Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Sounder spacecraft, now named Meteosat-13, has entered operational service. This instrument provides observations of temperature, humidity, and trace gases throughout the atmosphere, which will enable earlier and more precise warnings of severe weather and support air quality forecasts across Europe. This marks a significant advancement in operational weather observation, offering a four-dimensional view of the atmosphere.
