European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)

The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) is an intergovernmental organization that operates meteorological satellites to monitor weather and climate from space. It provides data to National Meteorological Services in its member states and users worldwide. EUMETSAT also operates several Copernicus missions on behalf of the European Union. Key partners include the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission, and National Meteorological Services.
