NOAA's Satellite Applications Symposium Series: Severe Weather and Hurricane Applications

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.

Pre-registration requested for virtual; Required for in-person attendance

Satellite capabilities to monitor weather continue to expand. New sensors have recently been launched while others are being built to serve users in the future. This event will focus on advancing engagement and readiness for the newest and next generation of weather satellites. Attendees can anticipate:

Images of hurricanes seen from space; tornados in a field, and lightening striking the earth.
  • Weather use cases from a wide array of decision makers for severe weather and hurricanes utilizing Geostationary, Low Earth Orbiting and precursor GeoXO data
  • Refining data requirements for the upcoming NOAA satellite missions
  • Advancing engagement and readiness for the newest and next generation satellites. 

During the symposium, we plan to feature use cases from a variety of stakeholders and also keynote addresses from NESDIS and GEO leadership. We look forward to your participation and feedback as we continue to guide the production of new data products and future instrument requirements.
