Too much definition in an enhancement curve may make the the imagery difficult to
interpret.
A split enhancement curve.
Sector identification information.
10°C.
U.S. Coast Guard.
DMSP.
The GOES-TAP system.
A satellite looper stores and displays a series of satellite images over the same area,
which, in turn, shows the movement of cloud and weather systems.
APT satellite transmissions provide real-time data and are relatively inexpensive to
obtain.
APT is at I-kilometer resolution and HRPT is at 1-kilometer resolution.
Low- and high-resolution imagery meteorological and oceanographic charts, TBUS
data, and operational messages.
The Internet.
AUTODIN message.
DMSP, APT and HRPT (NOAA), and WEFAX.
Both APT (NOAA) and WEFAX
The WEFAX antenna.
Ephemeris data allows satellite receiver systems to predict when and where satellites
will be at any given moment. It also allows receiver systems to earth-locate satellites,
which aids in gridding.
TBUS data can be obtained via AUTODIN message, AWN the fleet multichannel
broadcast, or via the Internet.
Part I of the TBUS message contains equator-crossing reference information.
Part IV of the TBUS message contains high-precision orbital calculation elements,
transmission frequencies, and remarks.
The launch year, launch number, and number of launch pieces.
About every 2 days.
