Satellite Applications

We are constantly improving the way we use established satellite observations for weather and climate applications.

We are engaged in the assimilation of a wide range of satellite data into models, the development of new imagery products for forecasting, climate and environmental applications, leading the NWP SAF and providing advice to the space agencies.
