Service details

Satellite image for Europe and part of the eastern Atlantic, taken in the visible spectrum.

Summary of service details

  • Visible Satellite image taken at 12 UTC every day.
  • Superimposes cloud formations onto a map background.
  • Updated once daily at 12 UTC.
  • JPEG format.
  • The information is pushed from our server to yours via FTP push.

Satellite images provide customers with a visual representation of actual cloud formations over a large area. These are higher definition than infrared images, as they are taken from polar-orbiting satellites, which orbit closer to the Earth. Because they detect radiation from the visible spectrum, no night time pictures are available!

Format

The images are provided in JPEG format, for 12 UTC. See the sample file LVHH15_1200.JPG.

Pricing

The European visible satellite product is priced at £2,965 + VAT per annum, assuming a one-year contract. The price is purely for the service detailed and does not include technical support.

Standard terms and conditions

All Met Office services are subject to our standard terms and conditions, which can be faxed to you upon request and will be automatically dispatched with the contract.
