The Copernicus Sentinel-6B satellite is launching soon and will help us understand our oceans even better 🌊
In this video, experts from @mercatorocean.bsky.social & GEO Blue Planet explain how satellite observations are key to understanding & protecting our planet’s future.

Image of the week: Typhoon #Kalmaegi 🛰️
Captured on 3 Nov by Sentinel-3, this striking image shows Typhoon Kalmaegi (also known as Tino) swirling over the Pacific Ocean, east of the Philippines.
The storm has since brought intense winds & heavy rain across the country. Find out more: bit.ly/4nBzuuu

Snow in Met-12 Cloud Type RGB today, green-yellow shades after the passage of an elongated front (clouds in the east). Compared with snow cover from 28 Oct, there is more snow in the southern Alps & the snow appears in slightly yellower shades (drier air aloft), via @inorbitivan.bsky.social

This animation from METimage btwn 26–29 Oct (~15 UTC) shows Hurricane Melissa’s path across the Caribbean.
During this period #Melissa rapidly intensified to Cat. 5 strength before making landfall in Jamaica, then moved on to Cuba, bringing severe rain, flooding & widespread damage to both regions.

Did you know snow appears differently depending on what satellite product you're using? Examples of the snow-covered Alps yesterday using Met-12 Cloud Phase (purple) & Cloud Type (green) RGBs, from view.eumetsat.int via @inorbitivan.bsky.social & Jochen Kerkmann #earthobservation #remotesensing

Comparison slide from @meteofrance.com showing two sunshine duration maps of France – one based on ground stations, the other using CM SAF SARAH satellite data, which reveals much finer spatial detail.
☀️ At the EUMETSAT Climate Symposium, @meteofrance.com showed how CM SAF SARAH sunshine duration data provide far more detailed national maps than ground-based networks alone. A great example of the added value of satellite-based climate data!

Global mean sea level isn’t just rising - it’s rising faster. 📈
Altimetry expert Vinca Rosmorduc explains how satellites track sea level changes and why that matters in our latest article: bit.ly/4huOHft
Data from satellites like Sentinel-6B - launching soon - will be key for what’s ahead. 🌊🛰️
