Abstract | This publication describes forecasting weather activity using satellites. Information is included on the development of weather satellites, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Satellite System (including the polar-orbiting satellites), and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES). The publication discusses the value of weather satellites; search and rescue; storm and rainfall forecasting; volcanic monitoring; fire detection; ocean temperature measurement; vegetation index mapping; and fish tracking. The instrumentation carried by weather satellites is discussed and definitions of the vocabulary used are listed. (YP) |
