Home > Satellite Image Comparison

These two images for this satellite image comparisons come from the GOES12 satellite. They were taken at the same time and provide a visual comparison of the differences between visible products and water vapor imagery products. The imagery is provided by CIRA/NOAA. The visible channel detects wavelengths in the 550 to 750nm range. While one IR channel detects wavelengths in the 6500 to 7500nm range--an IR range associated to water vapor.

The visible product depicts land masses, water masses, and clouds, while the IR channel depicts the atmospheric water vapor.

Currently (July 2004) the trend in satellite data from the Mears et al version is +0. 129 °C/decade , from the Spencer an
Satellite navigation systemSatellite navigation systems use radio time signals transmitted by satellites to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location.

Such a constellation can be considered to be a number of satellites with coordinated coverage, operating together under shared control, synchronised so that they o	Satellite radioA satellite radio is a special radio that receives signals broadcast by satellite. This allows the listener to follow a single channel no matter where they are because the signal's reach is not limited by station power and curvature of the Earth. United S
