Satellite View Wildfires in Portugal

Handout photo dated on July 29, 2025 shows Satellite View Wildfires in Portugal. As of 29 July 2025, Portugal is impacted by major wildfires in the north and centre of the country, with more than 2,000 firefighters mobilised to battle the flames. The most affected areas are Arouca (Aveiro District), Ponte da Barca (Viana do Castelo District), and Penamacor (Castelo Branco District). The village of Fornos de Carvão, in the Arouca municipality, was evacuated overnight. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 29 July, shows the large smoke cloud generated by the wildfires in the Arouca area, along with a second plume of smoke rising from the Ponte de Barca wildfires.

    Satellite View of flooding in northern Sumatra, Indonesia

    Satellite View of flooding in northern Sumatra, Indonesia

    Handout photo datetd on November 29, 2025 shows satellite view of Flooding in northern Sumatra. Cyclone Senyar formed during the night of 25-26 November 2025 in the Strait of Malacca, an area in which tropical cyclones had not been recorded for decades. The day after its formation, Senyar hit Indonesia, where it made landfall, causing flooding, landslides and more than 400 casualties in the north of the island of Sumatra. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 29 November 2025, shows extensive inundation across Aceh province, with towns such as Lhoksukon and Panton Labu surrounded by floodwaters. Sediment-laden plumes discharged into the sea along the northern coast indicate substantial river outflow, caused by the heavy upstream rainfall.

      Satellite Views of Hayli Gubbi Volcano Eruption

      Satellite Views of Hayli Gubbi Volcano Eruption

      Handout photo dated on November 23, 2025 shows The Day Atmosphere Air Pollution Dust & Haze Volcanoes. On 23 November 2025, the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia, located approximately 800 kilometres north-east of Addis Ababa, erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years. As a result of the eruption, a large sulfur dioxide (SO₂) plume was emitted into the atmosphere. This image, derived from data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite on 24 November, shows the plume extending for approximately 3,700 kilometres from Ethiopia to the Arabian Sea. The atmospheric monitoring capabilities of Copernicus Sentinel-5P support the detection and tracking of volcanic gas emissions, which are important for aviation safety, air quality assessments, and climate monitoring.

        Satellite View of Graham Land - Antarctica

        Satellite View of Graham Land - Antarctica

        Handout Satellite views dated on November 21, 2025, shows Graham Land. Graham Land, the northernmost stretch of the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth. Its mountainous spine and outlet glaciers drain into the Weddell Sea, forming an important transition zone between grounded ice, floating shelves, and open water. This dynamic landscape supports rich marine ecosystems, including krill-dependent species such as seals, penguins, and seabirds, and plays an important role in global ocean circulation and climate regulation. This Copernicus Sentinel-1 image, acquired on 21 November 2025, shows the contrasting textures of grounded ice, fragmented sea ice, and dark, open ocean, revealing key glaciological features in radar backscatter. Copernicus data is essential to climate science. A recent study published in Nature used Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data to analyse glacier dynamics in Graham Land, Antarctica.

          Satellite Views of Disastrous Flooding in The Philippines

          Satellite Views of Disastrous Flooding in The Philippines

          Handout photo dated on November 12, 2025 shows Following the landfall of Typhoon Fung-wong on 9 November 2025, northern regions of the Philippines were affected by extensive flooding, with the Cagayan Valley among the worst hit areas. The typhoon brought intense rainfall, causing the Cagayan River to overflow its banks, submerging agricultural land, infrastructure, and urban areas, including the city of Tuguegarao. Several communities in the province of Cagayan were displaced, and damage to crops and transport infrastructure was reported across the region. This false colour image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 12 November 2025, shows the flooded areas along the Cagayan River. In this composite, vegetation appears in red, while water bodies and flooded areas are shown in shades of light blue and green. Additionally, sediment plumes can be seen at the river’s mouth near Aparri, where the river enters the Pacific Ocean. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery via ABACA
            First Snowfall of The Season Over the Pyrenees

            First Snowfall of The Season Over the Pyrenees

            Handout photo dated on November 9, 2025 shows The Pyrenees are an important ecological corridor stretching between France and Spain, connecting Atlantic and Mediterranean ecosystems across a rugged mountain landscape. The mountain range supports high-altitude grasslands, ancient forests, and glacial valleys, providing habitat for endemic species. The arrival of snow marks the beginning of the alpine winter and plays a key role in regional water storage. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 9 November 2025, shows fresh snowfall above 1,900 metres, while lower elevations remain in shades of green and brown. This snowfall followed an Atlantic front, which brought up to 12 cm of snow and more than 40 l/m² of rain to parts of Spain. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-3 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

              Handout photo dated on November 7, 2025 shows following its launch on 4 November 2025, Copernicus Sentinel-1D has delivered its first images. Among these is this radar image acquired on 7 November 2025, showing northern Germany. The false colour visualisation of the image highlights different types of land cover such as cultivated fields, water bodies, and urban areas, including the cities of Bremen, Bremerhaven, Oldenburg, and Meldorf. The Elbe and Weser rivers flowing into the North Sea are visible in deep blue tones, along with the Wadden Sea. Bremen, Germany on November 7, 2025.

                Satellite View of Hurricane Melissa

                Handout photo dated on October 28, 2025 shows Hurricane Melissa, the most powerful storm to hit Jamaica in history, made landfall on the island with devastating force. With sustained winds reaching 298 km/h and a central pressure of 892 hPa, Melissa already ranks among the most intense hurricanes ever observed in the Atlantic basin. On that day, at 15:55 UTC, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured a vivid view of hurricane Melissa's eye just a few hours before it made landfall on the southern coast of Jamaica.
