NOAASIS Gateway
The
NOAASIS provides essential information for NOAA satellite direct readout
station operators and users of NOAA environmental satellite data. While
the emphasis is on the U.S. NOAA and GOES series of satellites, limited
information is also provided for the satellites operated by other countries
and entities. General background information about the U.S. satellites,
suitable for all users, is also available on this site. Links to some
products from U.S. satellite data are also available. This page will get
the user started on finding what information is available on the NOAASIS.
