Global weather October 2019
A series of monthly weather videos shows a combination of infrared imagery from the geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites of EUMETSAT, NOAA, the CMA and the JMA which, together, continuously observe the Earth's surface 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
This data is being used to help forecasters predict weather patterns and warnings of adverse weather conditions, hours and sometimes days in advance.
Meteo-France combines the satellite data into half-hourly segments, which provides EUMETSAT processes to produce this animation.
