MTG focus at ECSS2025 | European Severe Storms Laboratory

A full day of the European Conference on Severe Storms was dedicated to the new MTG satellites and related topics. EUMETSAT as a co-sponsor of the ECSS and the ESSL were happy to see the strong interest and ongoing user uptake of the novel data. A record number of ECSS participants is a clear sign of the importance of this topic.
