Description
English: This image, captured on 4 February 2022 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, shows cyclone Batsirai shortly after it passed over the French overseas department of La Réunion, an island in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. Batsirai brought torrential rains and extreme winds to La Réunion, with gusts of 200km/h. The rough seas generated by the cyclone also caused an oil tanker to capsize off the southern coast of La Réunion, resulting in an oil spill. Despite the highly adverse meteorological conditions, teams from the department’s fire and rescue service were successful in recovering all eleven members of the tanker’s crew. Using Sentinel satellite data and in situ data, the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service Sea Models can be used to evaluate the potential effects and predict the drifts of oil spills through products such as OSERIT for the North Sea, or MEDSLIK in the Mediterranean.
