EUMETSAT's products: imagery as WMS/WMTS map layers and the data as files through an API.

**Address:** [https://data.eumetsat.int/](https://data.eumetsat.int/) (leaves this site)

## What it is connected to, and who says so

**The same thing elsewhere on this site:** `source:eumetsat` in [the register of sources](../../sources/registry.json) (a join we state, not a match by address).

| This | Verb | That | The page that says so | Read | Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUMETSAT Data Store and EUMETView | **published by** | [EUMETSAT](body-eumetsat.md) | [data.eumetsat.int](https://data.eumetsat.int/): "EUMETSAT - Data Store You are using an unsupported browser. We can not guarantee, that the product navigator is working properly in this environment. Please use a newer browser." | 11:29 UTC, 11 Nov | stated on the page |

## Licence: what we may do with it

**EUMETSAT "Core" data and products**: CC BY 4.0, without charge ([user.eumetsat.int](https://user.eumetsat.int/resources/user-guides/data-registration-and-licensing), read 11:36 UTC, 11 Nov, stated on the page).

| Read | Store | Show | Transform | Attribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| yes, after registering in its user portal | yes | yes, with attribution | yes, with attribution | "[Contains modified] EUMETSAT [Meteosat/Metop] [data/product] [year]" |


## What it offers for Lisbon and Madeira this week

Meteosat imagery as map layers that can be asked for any box and time: cloud mask, cloud top height, infrared, natural colour; the storm seen from space every 5 to 15 minutes.

- **Endpoint:** `https://view.eumetsat.int/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities`
- **Key:** none for map images; a free account for the Data Store API
- **Format:** WMS/WMTS map images (PNG, JPEG); the data as NetCDF or native files through the Data Store
- **Size:** the capabilities document is 28 KB and lists 117 layer entries (our probe); one image tile is tens to hundreds of KB
- **Cadence:** Meteosat full disc every 10 minutes (third generation), rapid scan every 5
- **This week** (probe read 02:29 UTC, 11 Nov): Read 02:29 UTC: the service answered. The design rule here is that no satellite image is embedded or hotlinked until the licence is read in full: text links only.
- **How to read it:** `GetMap with layers=<name>&bbox=…&time=…`
- **Limits:** Images are binaries: never in git. Three licences apply by product and age (Core: CC BY 4.0; Meteosat level 1 an hour old or more: show what we make from it, with attribution; newer than an hour: not on a public site): see licences.
