But when viewed from above by a cutting-edge weather satellite, these dynamics reveal themselves. The first images from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Meteosat Third Generation-Sounder 1 satellite (MTG-S1) offer a stunning view of Earth’s atmospheric chaos. To create the temperature image below, MTG-S1 used the infrared sounder’s long-wave infrared channel. MTG-S1 is the second satellite launched as part of this program, which will eventually include six weather satellites. Together, these two satellites are already providing meteorologists with a more complete picture of Earth’s weather system and its ever-changing behavior.
