Satellites providing critical support for environmental disaster Monitoring and Response: from TIROS-1, the US's first weather satellite, to the current generation of environmental satellites
Session ID#: 78317
Session Description:
This session would encourage presenters to submit presentation abstracts that capture the demonstrated value of data and products from weather satellites in support of operational forecast missions, from the launch of TIROS-1 on April 1, 1960 until today. Images from the TIROS-1 two cameras gave forecasters an unprecedented view of weather systems and how they moved. These images had an immediate impact on weather forecasts. This early success led to future sensor development and operational applications that continue to today and into the future. Session planners are looking for presentations that focus on the long history of key technical advancements in the history of satellite applications.
