Satellite Meteorology and Climatology Division Road Map
The Division's research capabilities are concentrated in the
sciences associated with satellite remote sensing of the Earth's
atmosphere, surface, and climate. Most of the Division's research
and development falls into the following discipline areas: atmospheric
variables – temperature, humidity, winds; land surface variables
– vegetation, snow and ice cover; hydrological cycle variables -
precipitation, clouds, water vapor; environmental hazards –
aviation hazards, air quality, fires, heavy rainfall and flash
floods, and drought: and climate variables – ozone, Earth
radiation budget, aerosols, and greenhouse gases.
