There has been several videos<\/a> by NASA showing Hurricane Sandy from the wheather satellite.<\/p>\n

\"sandy\"<\/p>\n

The video animation is taken from GEOS-13<\/a> satellite. <\/p>\n

\n

GEOS<\/a><\/p>\n

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)\/ Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) program is a key element in National Weather Service (NWS) operations. “Geostationary<\/a>” means “it doesn’t move with respect to the earth”.<\/p>\n

The GOES\/POES mission is composed of two geostationary satellites and two polar orbiting satellites. These satellites operate in pairs.<\/p>\n

The geostationary satellites, GOES-East covering the East Coast and GOES-West covering the West Coast, provide real-time weather data for use in short-term weather forecasting (warnings of severe weather) and space environment monitoring, as well as research and development.<\/p>\n

The polar orbiting satellites primarily provide long-range weather forecasting, ensuring that non-visible data, for any region of the Earth, are no more than six hours old.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The polar satellite that was used for monitoring Hurricane Sandy was Suomi NPP.<\/p>\n

\n

Suomi NPP<\/a><\/p>\n

The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership collects and distributes remotely-sensed land, ocean, and atmospheric data to the meteorological and global climate change communities<\/p>\n

It will provide atmospheric and sea surface temperatures, humidity sounding, land and ocean biological productivity, and cloud and aerosol properties.<\/p>\n

\"NPP2\"<\/p>\n

NASA renamed NPP in honor of the late Verner E. Suomi<\/a>, a meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin who is recognized widely as “the father of satellite meteorology.<\/p>\n
