The EUMETSAT User Portal is now the one-stop-shop for all user information related to MTG. The Meteosat Third Generation section includes an overview of the mission and data services (0 degree, data collection service, rapid scanning service, sounding service); MTG Data collection (when closer to release); resources including user guides, related documents, software and code and service status updates, and MTG data news and events.
In order for users to prepare for MTG, format familiarisation test data packages are being released. A Product Format Specification document describing the content of each product is also released with each test data package. For more information on test data, see the MTG test data user guide.
