Europe's Sentinel Earth Satellites: Monitoring Oceans from Space | EUMETSAT
Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface. Discover how we keep an eye on them from space! This video explores the vital role of the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) in operating the ocean monitoring Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-6 satellites, part of Europe’s Copernicus Program. From tracking sea surface temperatures and ocean color to monitoring sea level rise, these satellites provide essential marine data to scientists, governments, and climate services around the globe. Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union’s space program, looking at our planet and its environment.
The European Union has entrusted EUMETSAT with operating the four Sentinel missions dedicated to monitoring the Earth's atmosphere, oceans and climate on its behalf. EUMETSAT carries out these tasks in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) and is already responsible for the Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-6 marine missions, and in 2025, it will operate Sentinel-4 and Sentinel-5.
EUMETSAT has established cooperation with Earth observation satellite operators in Europe, China, India, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
