Best Answer

Meteorologists usually use weather satellites to predict things like hurricane irene, which just came down the east coast of North America.
Weather satellites help scientists to observe weather patterns from a unique vantage point in space, which can allow them to view a larger area of the earth rather than with conventional radar which does not reveal a true image of cloud structure and wind patterns.

These satellites can measure many different things and are equipped to send infared images back to earth as well as snapshots of water vapor measurements, temperatures, wind patterns, cloud coverage, storm movement and many other readings.
