These satellites are particularly useful for detecting the development of weather and predicting their behaviour over the next few hours. They provide information on storms, clouds, winds, fog, rain, snow, incoming solar radiation, volcanic ash, dust, land and sea surface temperature and even fires. Data is also used for longer range weather EUMETSAT's Nowcasting Satellite Application Facility (NWC SAF) provides operational services to ensure the optimum use of meteorological satellite data in nowcasting and very short-range forecasting. The NWC SAF does this by developing and maintaining software packages for fast data processing at the user's premises.
Meteorological Satellites Meteorological Satellite: targets are meteorological variables - temperature, humidity, winds, precipitation, clouds, etc. So, we need spectra that are sensitive to these targets. These are also other Earth Observation Satellites which focus on land surface, ocean, etc. 1. Astronomical satellites 2. Biosatellites 3. Abstract. The first weather satellite was launched on 1 April 1960. In the 25 years since, weather satellites have contributed to improved weather analyses and forecasts worldwide. As a maturing component of a global observing system, the meteorological satellite promises even greater financial benefits and a higher quality of life to mankind.
Satellite), launched in December 1963. TIROS-VIII was one of the early polar orbiting weather satellites. Several U.S. weather offices were equipped to receive transmissions from this satellite, and plans for building relatively simple, low cost ground receiving stations were widely distributed to foreign meteorological services.
The INSAT series of satellites carrying Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) have been providing data for generating cloud motion vectors, cloud top temperature, water vapour content, etc., facilitating rainfall estimation, weather forecasting, genesis of cyclones and their track prediction.
concerned. Meteorological satellites have to a large extent has enabled to overcome this deficiency. Satellite imagery is an invaluable source of information for operational forecasters. It is being used as (a) an analysis tool, especially to data sparse regions like the tropics; (b) direct aid to short period forecasts (6-12 hours
Satellite Meteorology 05.27.04 Satellite meteorology may sound like a college-level class, but the NASA-reviewed Satellite Meteorology course has been created and written specifically for students in grades 7-12. Image to right: A satellite in polar orbit travels in a circular orbit moving from pole to pole, collecting data over the entire globe.
