Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 23 January 2021 at 07:07 UTC shows Cyclone Eloise a few hours after making landfall on the coast of Mozambique, about 60 km south of the city of Beira. In the landfall area, strong winds gusts (close to 200 km/h), intense rains and flooding of coastal areas have been observed. Apart from severe flooding, there are forecasts of riverine floods that could impact more than 200,000 people in southern Mozambique. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service was activated on 22 January for producing satellite damage assessment maps over the affected areas (EMSR495). The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission is composed of two twin satellites (Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B) that are both equipped with multiple instruments. Among those, the Ocean Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) provides data containing information about the atmospheric composition that is essential for climate studies and weather forecasting.
