LEO satellite data and higher model resolution improve tropical cyclone forecasts, reducing delayed warnings and unnecessary evacuations.

The 2025 Office of Space Weather Observations (SWO) Summit is designed as a collaborative workshop for the SWO team and partners to discuss current and planned projects, particularly focusing on the exciting new SWFO-L1 mission and the upcoming SOL project of observations at Lagrange point 1.

LEO satellite products are used for homeland defense in the Alaska North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Region.

NESDIS uses satellite data and machine learning to produce 1km soil moisture maps that improve NOAA's weather and water forecasts, including the National Water Model.

JPSS satellite data support NWS operations. The JPSS Satellite Liaison visits WFOs to gather feedback, identify forecaster challenges, and provide training on updated tools and products in AWIPS.

Get updates about new geostationary and low earth orbiting data available, GeoXO satellite instrument development progress, and provide feedback on your changing needs and challenges for severe weather and hurricanes.

Microwave sounders on LEO satellites help assess tropical cyclone intensity and structure, with new tools expanding coverage via smallsat missions.

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) Committee on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology (SatMOC) is pleased to offer a virtual short course with NOAA collaborators titled “Satellites and Fire'' during June 2025.
