What is the weather?
Satellite weather is an artificial, electronic satellite that transmits information about current weather patterns to the ground from space. Satellite weather regularly transmits various data that is used to predict climate and weather changes. Some examples of different types of recorded data are atmospheric temperature, surface temperature, wind speed, water temperature and wave height. Satellites also observe clouds, light patterns in urban areas, fires, pollution, auroras, sand and dust storms, snow cover and ocean currents.
There are two types of weather satellites that offer different types of Earth observations. The geostationary satellite remains repaired in one place above the equator. These types of satellites monitor a large area and are fixed at an altitude of approximately 22,000 miles (35,405 km) above the Earth's surface. Pictures recorded by geostationary satellites can be as large as the whole hemisphere. Also, this satellite weather is most commonly used for daily weather broadcasting.
The second type of weather satellite is the polar perimeter satellite, which acquires its name because it orbits its axis in the orbit, which maintains the satellite in a continuous sunlight to improve date. The satellite orbit carries it every day through the North and South Pole. The satellites of the Polar Orca relay transmit much more detailed observations than geostationary satellites because they are only 530 km (850 km) above the ground. In a given period, however, they follow a much smaller area that their counterpart.
The first artificial satellite in the world, Sputnik I, was launched by the Soviet Union in the autumn of 1957. I was Sputnik the first person created by an object that entered space and weighed just over £ 180 (83 kg). At the moment, the United States has worked through the start problems and successfully does not start space until the Vanguard-2 was launched in February 1959 and its successor Vanguard-3 just six months later. Both satellites Vanguard weather were small and weighed only £ 22 (a little under 10 kg).
data that is transmitted to Earth through the weather of the satellite can be transmitted in two ways. Basic images that are recorded with visible light reveal the real forms of storms, clouds, lakes, forests, smog and fires. However, some weather satellites record and transmit thermal images. Satellite scan sensors and creating infrared images that help analysts and meteorologists determine the heights of the cloud, cloud types and surface temperature.
