The GOES program is over 25 years old and provides not only up-to-date imagery but also a fascinating archive of important and influential climatic events. MODIS is a new satellite program which provides high resolution imagery on many aspects of the climate due to its sensors collecting data at 36 wavelengths.

We need to understand the processes that contribute to climate at many spatial and temporal scales. These interactivities use satellite imagery which provides modern geographers with compelling, current and varied images with which to examine and analyze the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. These exercises will provide you with some of the skills to use satellite imagery rather than just look, and with an appreciation of the breadth of climatic processes. It is recommended that you explore these exercises in the order they are presented. However, you can choose to do the exercises as many times as you want, and in any order. 1. Global circulation ) 3.

In other words, it flies in an orbit above the equator at the same rate as the rotation of the Earth; consequently, its view remains constant. As it is a visible image, some parts of the Earth are in darkness at some times and therefore weather phenomena cannot be seen. However, by using thermal infrared images, we can continue to view a wide variety of atmospheric phenomena 24 hours a day. Click on "Next Image" to take a look at an infrared image.

As this is an infrared image, in which whitest clouds are the highest and coldest clouds. Note the extremely bright cumulus still apparent across Central America. This shows the convective nature of these clouds, causing air to rise to high altitudes where clouds are coldest and therefore in this image also the brightest Over Central South America, it is warm and so their clear skies are not as readily apparent in this image Similarly the fog off the coast of Chile, being low is therefore relatively warm and so is also darker Unlike the visible image, this thermal infrared image presents a full-disk and is not limited by the darkness of the Antarctic regions.

It is capable of direct broadcast so that although the satellite stores the data it collects and then delivers it to recording stations, it also transmits its data as it collects it to anyone with the appropriate equipment. This kind of technology is speeding up the process of monitoring the environment and has huge potential for quicker and more accurate severe weather warnings.
