ESA’s MTG-S1 Unveils High-Resolution Atmospheric Maps from Space
ESA's Meteosat Third Generation-Sounder 1 (MTG-S1) satellite, launched to a geostationary orbit above the equator, uses infrared sounding to produce near real-time temperature and humidity maps of Earth's atmosphere, offering data every 30 minutes over Europe and North Africa and enabling enhanced 3D atmospheric analysis to improve forecast accuracy and early warnings for severe storms as part of a six-satellite MTG program.
