Television Infrared Observation Satellite Television Infrared Observation Satellite TIROS, or Television Infrared Observation Satellite, is a series of early weather satellites launched by the United States, beginning with TIROS-1 in 1960. TIROS was the first satellite that was capable of remote sensing of the Earth, enabling scientists to view the Earth from a new perspective: space. The program, promoted by Harry Wexler, proved the usefulness of satellite weather observation, at a time when military reconnaissance satellites were secretly in development or use. TIROS demonstrated at that time that "the key to genius is often simplicity." TIROS is an acronym of "Television InfraRed Observation Satellite"
Satellite Cloud Image Satellite Cloud Image A Satellite Cloud Image is an image based on data from meteorological satellite instruments. It captures the distribution of clouds in the atmosphere, to find the weather system and verify the correctness of surface weather maps that have been drawn. It can also be used with observations of sea ice distribution to determine the sea surface temperature and the medium-and long-term weather forecast oceanographic data. This technology can be a single image to show a variety of scales of weather phenomena to provide a very useful remote sensing data, weather analysis and forecasting. In general, the satellite
