NOAA Weather Radio (NWR), also known as NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards, is an automated 24-hour network of VHF FM weather radio stations in the United States which broadcast weather information directly from a nearby National Weather Service office. Its routine programming cycle includes local or regional weather forecasts, synopsis, climate ...
Map of regions covered by the 122 Weather Forecast Offices. The National Weather Service operates 122 weather forecast offices. [1] [2] Each weather forecast office (WFO or NWSFO) has a geographic area of responsibility, also known as a county warning area, for issuing local public, marine, aviation, fire, and hydrology forecasts.
The images are corrected for nearly constant geometric resolution prior to being broadcast; as such, the images are free of distortion caused by the curvature of the Earth. Of the two images, one is typically long-wave infrared (10.8 micrometers ) with the second switching between near-visible (0.86 micrometers) and mid-wave infrared (3.75 ...
NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...
The working frequency band for HRPT is L Band at 1.670–1.710 GHz and the modulation type isBPSK. [2] On NOAA KLM satellites the transmission power is 6.35 Watts, or 38.03 dBm. [ 3 ] The METOP-A satellite broadcasts with a bandwidth of 4.5 MHz, these use QPSK and AHRPT.

GOES-18 will then drift to 136.8 west and perform the remainder of PLT at that location near GOES-West. The 0.4 degree offset from GOES-17 will allow X-band RDL downlink from both GOES-17 and GOES-18. The 0.2 degree offset from 137.0W meet ground system product generation requirements. Both GOES-17 and GOES-18 images will be remapped to 137.0W. [9]
