Image captured by our Metop-B satellite (06/06/13 09:49 UTC) which shows the ice floes (cyan colour) around Svalbard and the east coast of Greenland. There is also a ship trail visible between Svalbard and Norway.
The EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) ground station is located on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, (78°N), providing the capacity to receive the data from all Metop satellite orbits.

An image from the SEVIRI instrument aboard our Meteosat-10 geostationary satellite. The vapour trail left by the meteor that was seen near Chelyabinsk in Russia on 15th February 2013 is visible in the centre of the image.
This image uses data from the High Resolution Visible (HRV) channel of SEVIRI that can produce images with both high spatial and temporal resolution.
You can view near real-time imagery from the HRV channel here and feel free to browse our other imagery products at the same location.

Waves on top of the low and middle level cloud sheets over Norway. The airmass is quite stable. Very small scale waves can be seen in the southernmost part of Norway. In central parts of Scandinavia the waves are bigger and easier to recognise.

Hurricane Breaking News
An RSS feed containing the latest breaking news from NASA on world-wide hurricanes.
The second tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season formed close to where the second storm of the Eastern Pacific season died, in the Bay of Campeche.
System 91W appears ripe to become Tropical Depression 4 in the next couple of days as it continues moving north and parallels the east coast of the Philippines.
NASA's 2013 HS3 mission will investigate whether Saharan dust and its associated warm and dry air, known as the Saharan Air Layer favors or suppresses the development of tropical cyclones.
