Slide: 6 ESCCON 2011 15 March 2011 EUMETSAT’s mission is…. To deliver operational satellite data and products that meet the meteorological and climate data requirements of its Member States, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through decades. This is carried out taking into account the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
