This website was developed for undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory earth or atmospheric science course. It is designed to supplement lecture and textbooks. Its goal is to make you a better consumer of weather information by providing dynamic graphics, animations, and science content about remote sensing, visible and infrared satellite imagery, and hurricanes. As part of the module, you will apply what you've learned by exploring recent hurricanes through satellite imagery. When you have completed this module, you should be able to view satellite imagery in a typical weather forecast on TV or the Web and recognize the importance of some features. en DLESE:Atmospheric science DLESE:Technology Weather satellite imagery Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Visible and infrared satellite imagery feature identification Storm intensity Mid-Atlantic Kathryn Ginger University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) ginger@ucar.edu DLESE Program Center (DPC) M.
