The weather satellites are in one of the most practical tools that the spatial technology for the prediction and weather follow-up has produced since they started to be launched in April of 1960. The lay in orbit of the TIROS-1, first weather satellite, denoted the huge informative capacity brought for the study of the atmosphere, as well as the importance to observe the Earth from the space.
Nowadays there are extense offer of images for satellites and internet, it allows that they can use people who are not in governmental organizations for them. As soon as here we will offer you a few that give varied and very useful information for the forecasts.
Images of infrareds thanks to MeteoFrance and of the Satellite Meteosat-9. With a coverage of Europe and the North of Africa. The satellites of infrareds what they measure are the difference of temperatures between areas|surfaces, and it is because of that that in entries|tickets very cold and without there being clouds a mist is seen in the image, or the snow of the mountains they get confused with clouds.
Images of infrareds thanks to sat24 and of the satellite of Meteosat. With a coverage month located that the former image that includes the European center south.
Images thanks to AEMET. This image is generated using information of the visible channels of the satellite MSG (Meteosat Second Generation). For this motive, only there is information in the zone illuminated by the sun. Moreover, the channels have been normalized so that the brightness does not depend on the position of the sun.
Images of the steam of water thanks to SMC. The steam of water is known with the radiation, that is measured in with the length of wave that arrives at the sensor of the satellite coming from the land-atmosphere system. The steam of present water absorbs delivery the radiation, so the differences of radiation give us the steam of water.
Images of rate of vegetation thanks to AEMET. This image is carried out with a combination of the datum of the visible channel and of the next infrared of the satellite NOAA-18, which gives us an idea about the development of the vegetation. This is like this because the vegetation absorbs strongly the radiation of the visible channel, but that reflects that of the next infrared strongly.
Images thanks to AEMET. Image obtained from the satellite NOAA-17 with a combination of the datum of the infrared channels and NOAA-18, who gives us the temperature of the surface of the sea.
