    An image of global sea surface temperatures acquired from the NOAA/ AVHRR satellite. The Advanced Very-High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument is a space-borne sensor that measures the reflectance of the Earth in five spectral bands that are relatively wide by today's standards.

  4. Suomi NPP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomi_NPP

    The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is the largest instrument aboard of Suomi-NPP (National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project). It collects radiometric imagery in visible and infrared wavelengths of the land, atmosphere, ice, and ocean.

  5. GOES-17 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOES-17

    The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin, based on the A2100A platform, and expected to have a useful life of 15 years (10 years operational after five years of standby as an on-orbit replacement). [6] GOES-17 is intended to deliver high-resolution visible and infrared imagery and lightning observations of more than half the globe. [7]

  6. GOES-16 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOES-16

    GOES-16, formerly known as GOES-R before reaching geostationary orbit, is the first of the GOES-R series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). GOES-16 serves as the operational geostationary weather satellite in the GOES East position at 75.2 ...

    Earth at night as imaged by VIIRS. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a sensor designed and manufactured by the Raytheon Company on board the polar-orbiting Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP), NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 weather satellites. [1] VIIRS is one of five key instruments onboard Suomi NPP, launched on ...

  8. Weather satellite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_satellite

    Weather satellite. A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites can be polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously), or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator).

  9. GOES-18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOES-18

    GOES-U →. GOES-18 (designated pre-launch as GOES-T) is the third of the "GOES-R Series", the current generation of weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The current and next satellites of the Series (GOES-16, GOES-17, GOES-18, and GOES-19) will extend the availability of the Geostationary ...
