Many, many things.
Communication Satellites have been around for quite some time, and most of our TV signals get routed through satellite. International and some domestic telephone and internet may also be distributed through satellites. Direct satellite communications in places where cell phones aren't available.
We are now able to photograph the entire planet allowing for better mapping (as well as military intelligence, assuming there is such a thing as intelligence in the military).
GPS began as a military location device, but allows better navigation & mapping functions, including civilian uses.
Safety for wayward hikers and climbers.
There are some satellites that are for pure research. The International Space Station is a satellite. The Hubble Space Telescope can take photos of space without interference from the atmosphere.
Are the Pioneer and Voyager and the other "probes" probes or satellites? There have been many sent to planets, moons, both as landers and flybys providing us information about our solar system that would have been difficult or impossible to obtain from terrestrial methods.
A satellite is an artificial object that has been placed into the earths orbit. Thousands of satellites have been launched into space and some launched in parts and assembled in space.
Mostly timing data, which the receiver uses to calculate distances to the satellites and eventually everything else.
Weather stations gather data from the local area - satellite imagery shows the weather over a much wider area.
The weather information collected by meteorologists at specific locations is called a station model.
Meteorologists get the image of a hurricane from satellite photos. By putting several hours of satellite pictures into motion, they can gather information on the track and development of the tropical cyclone.
No. But some meteorologists are weather reporters.
Meteorologists use a variety of tools and data sets to determine the climate of an area. This includes historical weather records, satellite imagery, weather models, and ground-based observations such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and humidity measurements. They analyze and interpret this information to understand long-term weather patterns and to make predictions about the climate in a particular area.
Weather satellite provide information about the global weather system on Earth.
Weather satellite provide information about the global weather system on Earth.
Weather information collected by meteorologists at specific location
the information they get is radiosonder
meteorologists predict the weather in specialized weather labs and tell the weather stations.
Weather stations gather data from the local area - satellite imagery shows the weather over a much wider area.
The weather information collected by meteorologists at specific locations is called a station model.
how many meteorologists does the weather channel have?
They collect data and information to be interpreted by meteorologists to more accurately predict future weather patterns.
Meteorologists get the image of a hurricane from satellite photos. By putting several hours of satellite pictures into motion, they can gather information on the track and development of the tropical cyclone.
No. But some meteorologists are weather reporters.
A meteorologist is someone who studies weather and uses information from Doppler radar, weather satellites, computers and other instruments to make weather maps and provide forecasts. A station model indicates weather using a combination of symbols on a map.
