Not exact matches

A constellation of more than two dozen GPS satellites broadcasts precise timing signals by radio to electronic GPS receivers which allow them to accurately determine their location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) in real time.

(Suborbital means the vehicle can fly only to a lower altitude than is necessary to start orbiting the Earth — it would have to travel higher, and faster, to reach altitudes achieved by orbiting satellites or the International Space Station, for example.)

As a result, scientists typically ignore satellite data for altitudes lower than 15 kilometers, Ridley says.

It doesn't get much better than this 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude, which boasts a push button start, a navigation system, stability control, traction control, and Sirius satellite radio.

And, as the satellite observations of Spencer and Braswell showed, as the planet warms over a period of several months, clouds act as a net negative feedback (the reflecting low - altitude clouds increase more than the absorbing high - altitude clouds with warming).

It is measured by two independent methods (balloons and satellites) and they both show the warming at altitude is similar (indeed, slightly less) than at the surface.

Anderson and his colleagues start with a new and unexpected observation, based on high - altitude flights and satellite measurements: powerful updrafts from powerful summer thunderstorms can send moisture much higher into the stratosphere than anyone had thought.
