摘要: A new era in meteorological observation and forecasting was ushered with the launching orbital operations of TIROS-1 (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) weather satellite on 1 April 1960. TIROS successfully demonstrated ability to provide images Earth’s cloud cover over remote areas planet a vast scale timely manner from an Earth-orbiting spacecraft. Today TIROS-N/NOAA (A-D) polar satellites circle Earth twice day at altitude approximately 850 km. The instrument payload consists following: AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)-5-channel imaging radiometer producing visible (VIS) infrared (IR) pictures TOVS (TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) made up three instruments: HIRS/2 (High-resolution Radiation Sounder) MSU (Microwave Sounding Unit) SSU (Stratospheric Unit) SEM (Space Environment Monitor) DCS (Data Collection System) The VIS channel (0.55–0.90 µm) IR (10.b–11.5 have resolutions subpoint
