NOAA Satellites: Providing Critical Global Data for Local Environmental Challenges

摘要

In this presentation, we present details on ways that the JPSS Program uses its investments in environmental satellites to benefit not only the NOAA mission but other countries as well. The data, products, and capabilities from the NOAA-20 satellite has been well integrated into the global observation network following its launch on November 18, 2017. The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) continues to provide critical data as its sensors maintain their health well past their expected life-time.
