Astronomy Cast Ep. 461: Measuring the Weather with Satellites

16 Oct , 2017 by Susie Murph

What’s the weather doing? Is it going to rain today? How much? What about temperatures? We depend on modern weather forecasting, thanks, in part to the vast network of weather satellites. What instruments do they have, what orbits do they use. We usually record Astronomy Cast every Friday at 3:00 pm EST / 12:00 pm […]
