Satellite imagery

Learning about weather as seen from satellite

• learning about satellite imagery (UIUC)
• Satellite Meteorology: learning resources, from COMET
• interpreting recent satellite imagery, from NOAA NESDIS RAMM
• interpreting satellite imagery for an introductory meteorology course, from Dave Dempsey (San Francisco State Univ)
• Satellite meteorology learning modules, from the University of Wisconsin.

• Special Sensor Microwave/Imager(SSM/I) - create your own images anywhere on earth, any channel, '87-now, by the NOAA/NESDIS/ORA Microwave Sensing Group
• SSMI imagery worldwide, from NRL Monterrey CA
• SSMI images and derived products, from the US Navy
• AMSU temperature/moisture profilers plotted on a skew-T diagram, from NOAA-NESDIS (neat !)
• USGS thematic satellite data, global
