The Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) system is an analog image transmission system developed for use on weather satellites.It was introduced in the 1960s and over four decades has provided image data to relatively low-cost user stations at locations in most countries of the world.
Integrated Surface Database (ISD) is global database compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) comprising hourly and synoptic surface observations compiled globally from ~35,500 weather stations; it is updated, automatically, hourly.
Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is a protocol used for framing and classification of broadcasting emergency warning messages. It was developed by the United States National Weather Service for use on its NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) network, and was later adopted by the Federal Communications Commission for the Emergency Alert System, then subsequently by Environment Canada for use on its ...
They also issue severe weather warnings, gather weather observations, and daily and monthly climate data for their assigned area. The local weather forecast offices also control the broadcasts of weather information on the NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards stations. [3] The NWS is divided into six regions.
IIiii: weather station identification code; II for a block number allocated (by the WMO) to a country or a region of the world, for example 02 for Scandinavia or 72 and 74 for the continental US; iii is the code of an individual station within a block. (For example, 02993 is the code of the weather station on Märket, 74794 of Cape Canaveral). [4]
The office schedules a required weekly test of the Specific Area Message Encoding system for public alert dissemination on all thirteen NOAA Weather Radio transmitters in the region each Wednesday between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (all times Central); exceptions exist if there is a threat of severe weather ...

The sensor on weather satellites that picks up the data transmitted in HRPT is referred to as an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) for NOAA satelites. [1] Broadcast signal The working frequency band for HRPT is L Band at 1.670–1.710 GHz and the modulation type isBPSK. [2]
