EUMETSAT Objectives

... The primary objective is to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites.

A further objective is to contribute to the operational monitoring of the climate and the environment as well as the detection of global climatic changes.

Slide: 6 12-13 June 2006

EUMETSAT’s Mission is….

... to deliver operational satellite data and products thatsatisfy the meteorological and climate data requirements of its Member States - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This is carried out according to the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
