A Storm is Coming – Bringing Weather Data Down to Earth
3. March 2025
You are being watched – by dozens of satellites, 24 hours, 365 days a year. Don’t panic, we are not spying on you, only monitoring the environment, weather, ocean, land, cryosphere. Learn more on how we track storms, why the ocean has a colour, see fog pile up in mountain valleys and how we can spot holes in the atmosphere.
At EUMETSAT in Darmstadt we operate a fleet of weather satellites, circling the Earth in “low” orbits, only 800km above the surface, seeing you twice a day, and those far away at 38000km, staring at you constantly, scanning the Earth every 10 minutes.
Join Roger Huckle, meteorologist and scientist at EUMETSAT, for a fascinating journey through past, present and future satellites. Explaining why ultraviolet light gives us more than a sun burn, we have night vision and microwave instruments do not heat up your lunch. Indulge in colourful images and get exposed to real life science and the physics behind Earth observation, relax, they don’t bite.
Lecturer: Roger Huckle
Duration: 60 min - The Lecture will be held in: english
