METEOROLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS FROM SATELLITES AND AIRCRAFT

1.A major breakthrough in meteorological measurements came with the launching of the first meteorological satellite, the TIROS (Television and Infrared Observation Satellite), by the United States on April 1, 1960. The impact of global quantitative views of temperature, cloud, and moisture distributions, as well as of surface properties (e.g., ice cover and soil moisture), has already been substantial. Furthermore new ideas and new methods may very well make the 21st century the “age of the satellite” in weather prediction.

2.Medium-range forecasts that provide information five to seven days in advance were impossible before satellites began making global observations – particularly over the ocean waters of the Southern Hemisphere – routinely available in real time. Global forecasting models developed at the U.S. National Meteorological Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the European Center for Medium

Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and the U.S. National Meteorological Center (NMC) became the standard during the 1980s, making medium-range forecasting a reality.

3.Meteorological satellites travel in various orbits and carry a wide variety of sensors. They are of two principal types: the low-flying polar orbiter, and the geostationary orbiter. The first types circle the Earth at altitudes of 500-1,000 kilometers and in roughly north-south orbits. They appear overhead at any one locality twice a day and provide very high-resolution data because they fly close to the Earth. Such satellites are vitally necessary for much of Europe and other highlatitude locations because they orbit near the poles.

4.The geostationary satellite is made to orbit the Earth along its equatorial plane at an altitude of about 36,000 kilometers. At that height the eastward motion of the satellite coincides exactly with the Earth's rotation, so that the satellite remains in one position above the Equator. Satellites of this type are able to provide an almost continuous view of a wide area. (1731)
