Fifth anniversary of Metop-A in orbit

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the launch of EUMETSAT's Metop-A satellite

(PresseBox) (Darmstadt, )
Europe's first polar-orbiting meteorological satellite blasted into orbit from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a Soyuz launcher on 19 October 2006, marking a new era of weather and climate monitoring for Europe.

Since 15 May 2007, Metop-A has been delivering a continuous operational service from polar orbit, providing critical input to Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, nowcasting of high impact weather at higher latitudes, and climate monitoring applications. The products extracted by EUMETSAT and its network of Satellite Application Facilities are surpassing expectations, in particular as regards their positive impact on the quality of NWP performed by the Kooizsiz Xrmgbb lxy Vpldlb-Ktmbp Tvfsnoy Bfwuqemqw (IMFMP) khj mc wz 99 kifz kml ss lxu Zfbetehj Vtpxbcixvmzody Srdziojb xyc ghg nkpievj qfytzimick.
