NOAA's flagship weather satellites, the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system, would receive full funding for FY 2018.
NOAA's two major satellite programs relating to weather forecasting — the Joint Polar Satellite System and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system — would be allotted $ 775.8 million and $ 518 million respectively, as requested.
On October 28, NASA launched the National Polar - orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project, a prototype of the new generation of satellites, Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), that will be the backbone of U.S. space - based weather and climate observations.
Rainfall rates derived from satellite data have a long legacy in operational weather forecasting because their information complements ground observations such as weather radar and rain gauges.
Sea surface temperature (SST) measured from Earth Observation Satellites in considerable spatial detail and at high frequency, is increasingly required for use in the context of operational monitoring and forecasting of the ocean, for assimilation into coupled ocean - atmosphere model systems and for applications in short - term numerical weather prediction and longer term climate change detection.
This dataset is an intercalibration of irradiance measurements from a fleet of geostationary and polar orbiting weather satellites, operational since 1983.
Two systematic calibrations have been compiled for the visible radiances measured by the series of AVHRR instruments flown on the NOAA operational polar weather satellites: one by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, anchored on NASA ER - 2 under - flights in the 1980s and early 1990s and covering the period 1981 - 2009, and one by the PATMOS - x project, anchored on comparisons to the MODIS instruments on the AQUA and TERRA satellites in the 2000s and covering the period 1979 - 2010 (this result also includes calibration for the near - IR channels).
