• Description:
  In 2017, the nation saw the launch of another next generation polar- ; orbiting satellite, NOAA-20. This launch – the second under the ; Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), ensured that NOAA-20 along ; with the NOAA/NASA demonstration satellite, Suomi National ; Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) would provide even more ; data and products into weather prediction models around the world. ; Considered the backbone of the global observing system, data from ; polar-orbiting satellites are critical for forecasting weather three to ; seven days in advance and monitoring the global environment. JPSS ; provides critical environmental observations to support NOAA’s ; overarching mission to “understand and predict changes in weather, ; climate, oceans, and coasts.”
