Weather Forecasts become more Reliable by U.S. Satellite GOES R

As our technological advancement is consistently gearing towards a more predictable future, the weather remains an important variable that needs to be disclosed accurately. All our day-to-day planning makes use of the available data. It becomes imperative that the weather forecasts become more reliable.

 Weather Forecasts become more Reliable by U.S. Satellite GOES R

On Saturday 19 November the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)most reliable and accurate weather satellite, GOES R is scheduled to be launched to space. GOES-R is designed in a way that it can improve forecasts for severe weather events, from hurricanes to tornadoes and solar storms.

Amazingly, GOES R can accurately scan the entire hemisphere in 5 minutes.

Promptly, GOES R can update the weather forecast every 30 seconds.

Worlds most advanced digital camera

According to meteorologists, this satellite GOES R will revolutionize how the weather is forecasted. It is augmented with;

• GOES R will enable scientists to encounter constantly changing weather conditions,       by allowing the spacecraft to take pictures every 30 seconds
•  the Global Lightning Mapper–tracking all sorts of lightning hazards
•  the world’s most advanced digital weather camera named Advanced Baseline Imager gives an image with a resolution of pixels four times bigger than any of the satellites previously used by NOAA.
