<strong>EUMETSAT</strong> ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2021</strong><br />
The IASI conference, named after the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer<br />
instrument, took place in Evian-les-Bains, France<br />
At the end of the year, the IASI conference, named after the<br />
Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer instrument, took<br />
place in Evian-les-Bains, France. The conference was held in<br />
a hybrid format, with 32 virtual participants and 85 people on<br />
site. This format worked very well technically. Nevertheless,<br />
networking is important at any conference and participants on<br />
site were pleased to make new contacts and to catch up with<br />
developments and new research projects.<br />
Video and animation productions in <strong>2021</strong> included the Year<br />
of Weather movie and a series of new satellite visualisations<br />
explaining how the Metosat Third Generation and <strong>EUMETSAT</strong><br />
Polar System – Second Generation satellites will operate. All<br />
content was promoted to <strong>EUMETSAT</strong>’s ever-increasing social<br />
media audience (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn).<br />
The Year of Weather animation illustrates different weather patterns across the globe as captured by satellites in the<br />
geostationary orbit operated by <strong>EUMETSAT</strong>, the US National Oceanic and Atmopsheric Administration, the China Meteorological<br />
Administration and the Japan Meteorological Agency, combined with data from <strong>EUMETSAT</strong>’s polar-orbiting satellites<br />
