Observations from meteorological satellites are crucial inputs for the generation of weather forecasts and, in order to derive an estimate of the benefit-to-cost ratio of the polar-orbiting EPS/Metop-SG satellite programme proposed by EUMETSAT and ESA, an assessment of the socio-economic benefits of forecasts within the EU, in a number of key areas, is overlaid onto an analysis of the impact of polar-orbiting satellite observations on forecast skill, to produce a likely benefit-to-cost ratio of 20 for the proposed programme.
