The series of NASA satellites called GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) monitor storms and other conditions, especially in the world's oceans.

But a specialized satellite, that mapped geographical wind speeds from 1999 to 2009, was the QuikSCAT satellite. It replaced an original wind observation device (NSCAT) that functioned aboard a Japanese satellite from 1996 to 1997.
