The Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) program will expand into the 2020-2040 timeframe and massively improve the services currently delivered by the Meteosat Second Generation series in support of nowcasting and very short-range forecasting of high impact weather over Europe and Africa.

2012), noise maps, UV index and METEOSAT data, green space estimates, as well as walkability, building density, and bike lane map information for the built environment (Table 2).

Coastal upwelling and mesoscale winds are studied using daily 25 km NOAA SST data [47], 25 km J-OFURO reanalysis [48], satellite scatterometer measurements from QuikSCAT and ASCAT, and 4 km Meteosat infrared imagery.

In the 1960s, the satellite revolution provided a quantum leap in weather forecasting providing a bird's-eye of how the atmosphere moves and in 1977 the first European weather satellite, Meteosat 1, was launched - once again pushing forward the boundaries of meteorology.

Data from Meteosat second generation, a geostationary weather satellite, and SPOT, which provides data on vegetation, are available throughout Africa on free receiving stations provided by the European Union.
