Weather Satellites in Orbit (updated 2012)
This visualization showcases the five weather satellites that create NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) products. The five geosynchronous satellites are: GOES-13, GOES-15, Meteosat-7, Meteosat-9 and MTSAT-2.
This is updated version of entry: #3781: Weather Satellites in Orbit (completed in 2010)
This set provides movies and frames of the Weather Satellites in Orbit visualization.
