Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In the final days of November 2021, Europe recorded remarkable contrasts in temperature. While the west of the continent registered below-average temperatures and heavy snowfall, the east recorded exceptionally high temperatures for this period of the year, with peaks of 31°C in Cyprus. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 30 November 2021, shows snow-covered areas in parts of Spain, France, Italy, and Croatia. The primary objectives of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites are to measure sea surface topography using the SRAL instrument, sea and land surface temperature using the SLSTR instrument, and ocean and land surface colour using the OLCI instrument. These three instruments on board the two Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites enable accurate and reliable measurements that support the monitoring of the oceans, environment, and climate.
