Scientific paper

The Eumetsat Polar System (EPS) covers the MetOp satellites and Eumetsat's ground infrastructure and services. It is the European contribution to the Initial Joint Polar System, established jointly with the US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). EPS will patrol the "morning orbit" while NOAA continues with the "afternoon orbit". In addition to its prime objective of operational meteorology and climate monitoring, EPS also addresses a wide range of other environmental issues such as the atmosphere's minor constituents, cloud distribution and ocean-surface wind effects. EPS is planned for 14 years of operations, starting in 2007, following completion of in-orbit commissioning.
