Summary
editDescriptionAlex Storm.jpg |
English: Alex is the first storm to hit southwestern Europe in the 2020-2021 season. After hovering over the eastern Atlantic Ocean, it made landfall on the coasts of Brittany and northwestern France on 1 September. According to Méteo France, heavy rainfalls and winds of up to 150km/h were reported in the department of Morbihan, causing damages to railways and power cut-offs. After impacting France, storm Alex reached southern Britain on Friday and, according to the MetOffice, parts of Wales, southwest England and eastern Scotland could see over 100mm of rain falling over the weekend, with significant impact in terms of flooding, risk of landslides, along with very difficult driving conditions. This true colour image has been captured by one of the two Sentinel-3 satellites on 2 October and shows the structure of storm Alex affecting southwest England with wet and windy weather as indicated in the Met Office forecasts. 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 (mainly aerosols and water vapour) that is essential for climate studies and weather forecasting. |
