SATELLITES AND WEATHER FORECASTING

Abstract

Just 2 years ago the first Tiros weather satellite gave meteorologists powerful new eyes with which to view their atmospheric domain. Since that time developments have been rapid. Techniques have been developed for using the satellite observations in day-to-day weather analysis and forecasting. Communications have been improved to increase the availability of the satellite observations throughout the world. Research using the Tiros data is increasing our understanding of the atmosphere and will lead to improved weather observing satellite

METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITES

This paper presents a status report on the progress of the Meteorological Satellite Program. In this review, I shall try to emphasize primarily the accomplishments since May 1961 when a report on the program was given to the First National Conference on Peaceful Uses of Space in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is now one year later, and it is fitting that we stop and take stock of what we have been doing and where we are heading.
