Although superseded by MSG-1 (renamed Meteosat-8) in 2005, Meteosat-7 remained as back-up at 0o longitude until 14th June 2006. Meteosat-7 will be moved to 63oE longitude to continue coverage of the Indian Ocean and take over from Meteosat-5. Meteosat-7 was launched by the European Space Agency and operated by Eumetsat. This dataset contains thermal infra-red images from Meteosat Geostationary Satellites First Generation over Europe and North Atlantic.

From 11th of November 1999 until 31st October 2002 these images were daily mirrored from the Meteosat archive at the University of Nottingham. The images include zooms of Northern Atlantic and Europe in the visible band and are provided in JPEG format. Images were received in this way until a technical fault at Nottingham resulted in the service being suspended. Full-disc images of the Meteosat view field were subsequently received from the Eumetsat archive in Germany. Jpeg images covering Northern Atlantic, Europe and North Africa have been obtained from EUMETSAT to fill the gap in the archive between October 2002 and August 2003.
