Weather and Climate [ ]

Here you can see the Indian Ocean and all of southwestern Asia in one glance from the height of the satellites. The aim of this section is to stimulate students and teachers to look at the images and find out all about the weather in the region where they live. Schools are invited to work with this data using the suggestions given in the projects. Case studies provided below will be of further guidance and inspiration. Here you will find both still and moving METEOSAT sequences, providing a spectacular demonstration of day-to-day and seasonal weather.

The case studies provided focus on the Asian Summer Monsoon, which plays a decisive role in the life of millions. Manual and software assisted exercises bring the Monsoon floods right into your classroom...
