This ‘zoom in’ over Europe was taken from the first image acquired on 18 March 2023 by Meteosat Third Generation Imager-1 (MTG-I1). The higher resolution of the imaging instrument on MTG-I1 provides information that Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites could not deliver. The information is crucial for understanding the weather and climate. Visible in this ‘zoomed-in’ view of the Mediterranean is turbidity in coastal waters and snow on the Alps, the Apennine Mountains and the Dinaric Alps, as well as more detail about the cloud structures in the image.
