Climate Satellites

Climate satellites are specialized satellites designed to monitor and collect data about the Earth’s climate and environmental conditions. They provide critical information on various factors such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, cloud cover, sea surface temperatures, ice cover, and greenhouse gas concentrations. By observing these elements over time, climate satellites help scientists analyze trends in climate change, weather patterns, and natural disasters. This data is essential for advancing our understanding of climate systems, aiding in weather forecasting, and informing policy decisions related to climate action and environmental protection.
