MTG-S will accommodate the GMES Sentinel 4mission ‘Ultraviolet Visible Near-Infrared (UVN)’ • The UVN will focus on the European countries: The Field Of Regard (FOR), projected on the Earth surface covers longitudes 10° West to 45° East and latitudes 30° North to 65° North • The UVN supports atmospheric chemistry and air quality monitoringover Europe. Products to be derived are trace gases(O3, NO2, SO2, HCHO) and aerosol (optical depth, scattering height). • The accommodation of Sentinel 4 on MTG (and Sentinel 5 on Post-EPS) was approved by Council in July 2008 • ESA coordinates with EUMETSAT the finalisation of GMES Sentinel 4 Phase 0 and the preparation for start of Phase A
