## Editorial
EUMETSAT Atmospheric Motion Vectors - MSG - 0 degree is an open Level 2 data product for Meteosat Second Generation atmospheric motion vectors, distributed through the EUMETSAT data catalogue [^eumetsat-msg-amv]. It is aimed at users who need geostationary cloud-tracked winds for numerical weather prediction and related atmospheric-wind analysis [^eumetsat-msg-amv]. Atmospheric motion vectors estimate winds by tracking clouds or water-vapour features across consecutive satellite images, so buyers should evaluate it as a derived wind-vector product rather than a direct in situ measurement [^bams-amv-2d-3d-2025]. Access is through the EUMETSAT catalogue product endpoint under the EUMETSAT data policy [^eumetsat-msg-amv].
