The Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) satellite system is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s planned replacement for the existing Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) satellites.
Tropical cyclone forecasting: altimeter data and satellite ocean wind data are incorporated into atmospheric models for hurricane season forecasting and individual storm severity. Ship routing: maps of currents, eddies, and vector winds are used in commercial shipping and recreational yachting to optimize routes.
Demo map showing high-resolution SWBD coastlines. The SRTM Water Body Data (SWBD) is a geographical dataset (2003) encoding high-resolution worldwide coastline outlines in a vector format, published by NASA and designed for use in geographic information systems and mapping applications.
Officially dubbed "OCMD Beach Bus," the app allows users to track the real-time location of vehicles on Coastal Highway Beach Bus and West Ocean City Park and Ride routes. The app, which launched ...
Likely the satellites were built by SpaceX based on the Starshield bus (based on Starlink Block v1.5 technology), based on the deployment structure seen in the launch video. Their purpose has not been revealed, but is likely either technical demonstration, communications, earth observation or signals intelligence.
Jason-1 [1] was a satellite altimeter oceanography mission. It sought to monitor global ocean circulation, study the ties between the ocean and the atmosphere, improve global climate forecasts and predictions, and monitor events such as El Niño and ocean eddies. [2]
