If imagery is zoomed in at an adequate range, actual weather satellite data can be superimposed. VIPIR images can be constructed from multiple sources, including Doppler weather radar and NEXRAD. [3] It is used by television meteorologists to give a comprehensive view of weather, in particular severe weather events.
The optimal use of satellite data in climate and global change studies has become another essential part of the CIMSS mission. CIMSS serves as an international center for research on the interpretation and uses of operational and experimental satellite observations and remote sensing data acquired from aircraft and the ground.
Satellite Launch date Mission end Meteosat-1: 23 November 1977 Imager failed in November 1979; data collection ended in 1984 Meteosat-2: 10 June 1981 Moved to graveyard orbit in December 1991 [2] Meteosat-3 (Meteosat-P2) 15 June 1988 Retired in 1995 Meteosat-4 (MOP-1) 19 April 1989 Deactivated in November 1996.

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. Satellites are mainly of two types: polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously) or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator ).

Crotalus cerastes, known as the sidewinder, horned rattlesnake or sidewinder rattlesnake, [3] is a pit viper species belonging to the genus Crotalus (the rattlesnakes), and is found in the desert regions of the Southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
The low-rate picture transmission (LRPT) is a digital transmission system, intended to deliver images and data from an orbital weather satellite directly to end users via a VHF radio signal. It is used aboard polar-orbiting, near-Earth weather satellite programs such as MetOp and NPOESS .
Along Track Scanning Radiometers aboard weather satellites are able to detect wildfires, which show up at night as pixels with a greater temperature than 308 K (35 °C; 95 °F). [18] The Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Terra satellite can detect thermal hot spots associated with wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial hot ...
