satellite meteorology

Satellite meteorology involves using satellites orbiting Earth to observe and monitor the atmosphere, weather patterns, and climate. These satellites capture images and gather data on cloud cover, temperatures, humidity, wind, and storm development. This information helps meteorologists analyze current conditions, track weather systems like hurricanes or storms, and improve weather forecasts. Satellite technology provides a comprehensive view of Earth's atmosphere from space, allowing for timely and accurate predictions regardless of location or weather conditions, which is vital for public safety, agriculture, aviation, and emergency management.
