As a result, during 1989 Meteo-France (MF), Environment Canada (EC) and the United Kingdom's Met Office (UKMO) were all set up as RSMCs under interim arrangements between the WMO and the IAEA. [1] Under these arrangements Meteo-France provided global coverage with the UKMO as the backup centre until each WMO region had at least two RSMCs for ...
The small eye of Dina, only 20 km (10 mi) in diameter, [1] quickly became well-defined, [4] although it became obscured by the central dense overcast on visible satellite imagery. [1] On January 19, the cyclone slowed as it turned to the west-southwest, after the ridge to its south intensified. [ 2 ]
A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth.

The Disaster Monitoring Constellation for International Imaging (DMCii) or just Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) consists of a number of remote sensing satellites constructed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) and operated for the Algerian, Nigerian, Turkish, British and Chinese governments by DMC International Imaging.
The MSG satellites are 3.2 m in diameter and 2.4 m high and spin anti-clockwise at 100 rpm [7] at an altitude of 36,000 km. [8] On 29 January 2004 the first Meteosat Second Generation satellite MSG-1, renamed to Meteosat-8 once operational, commenced routine operations.
An HRPT Image from a NOAA Satellite. Weather satellite pictures are often broadcast as high-resolution picture transmissions (HRPTs), color high-resolution picture transmissions (CHRPTs) for Chinese weather satellite transmissions, or advanced high-resolution picture transmissions (AHRPTs) for EUMETSAT weather satellite transmissions.
