Description
Summary:The EUMETSAT Polar System – Second Generation (EPS-SG) is under development to follow the first generation EPS from 2022 onwards. EPS-SG will provide 9 observation missions in a dual satellite system in support of operational meteorology, climate monitoring and environmental services covering the ocean, atmosphere, land, cryosphere, and biosphere, to the extent they interact with, drive, or are driven by meteorology and climate. The benefits of EPS-SG for the Arctic and Northern regions cover a wide range of monitoring and user applications.
