Eumetcast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EumetCAST is a service run by EUMETSAT, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites. EumetCAST is a scheme for data dissemination that uses encrypted DVB-S transmitted from the Hot Bird 6 (in Ku band) or Atlantic Bird 3 (in C band) satellite from Eutelsat. It includes data from Meteosat 5, 6, 7 and 8 (MSG-1 which is first satellite from family of Meteosat Second Generation), and data from other meteorological programmes. Most common formats used for satellite images there are HRIT and LRIT, known under common name as XRIT. The data may be used free of charge for academic purposes.
