the first weather satellite to be considered a success was tiros-1, launched by nasa on april 1, 1960. tiros operated for 78 days and proved to be much more successful than vanguard 2. tiros paved the way for the nimbus program, whose technology and findings are the heritage of most of the earth-observing satellites nasa and noaa have launched since then. beginning with the nimbus 3 satellite in 1969, temperature information through the tropospheric column began to be retrieved by satellites from the eastern atlantic and most of the pacific ocean, which led to significant improvements to weather forecasts.
