MetOp will provide data of unprecedented accuracy and resolution on temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction over the ocean, and ozone and other trace gases, making a huge contribution to global weather forecasting and climate monitoring. MetOp-A will also observe land and ocean surfaces and its search-and-rescue service will help ships and aircraft in distress.
