Environmental satellites provide data in several different formats. The most commonly used channels on weather satellites used are the visible, infrared, and water vapor satellites. Each of these channels on the satellite sensors is sensitive to energy (electromagnetic energy) at a particular range of frequencies, therefore each type provides a different view of the Earth, its atmosphere, and its oceans. Researchers rely on all three types of data, and often use them together to better understand the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's surface.
In this activity, you will read about each type of image and compare visible, infrared, and water vapor imagery to observe the differences. You will be able to describe the use of each type of satellite imagery and use all three together to describe the atmospheric conditions over a portion of the Earth. There are several images to compare that consist of different views of the same scene.
Advanced Television infrared Observation Satellites ( TIROS-N or ATN) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES).

What are the benefits of using gps vs regular weather satellites?
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.

What are the two main kinds of submarines?
there are far more than two main kinds of submarines. The only two sections I can think of to separate them are fast attack and Boomers or Ballistic Missle.
