-C is the third and final satellite of the first generation of polar-orbiting meteorological operational (MetOp) satellites developed by ESA and EUMETSAT. The MetOp satellites carry an array of sensors that measure temperature, humidity, trace gases, ozone and wind speed over the ocean. They include a set of seven 'heritage' instruments provided by NOAA and CNES and a new generation of five European instruments offering improved sensing capabilities. Several of the instruments measure similar aspects of the atmosphere.
