Close your eyes...this essentially was the weather world before the launch of the first weather satellite, a polar orbiter, in 1960. Now open just one eye...this is the weather world you and your viewers see when you only look at geostationary satellite data. Now open both your eyes... this is the world you now see when you look at all the satellite data, including the next generation polar orbiting satellite information. From that little satellite that first circled the world and snapped weather pictures 42 years ago, much has changed. From the new instruments on-board the polar orbiter to the products generated from those instruments to the new ways we display the data to the many different ways we apply the data to continually improve our support of NOAA's primary mission of saving lives and property. Our talk will emphasize how NOAA is applying this next generation of polar orbiting satellite data and using it to provide value added information to compliment and supplement the geostationary satellite data we are more familiar with in supporting the critical NOAA missions for the United States and the world. Emphasis will be on the polar orbiting microwave data that provides valuable physical information particularly over the data sparse ocean areas, especially for tracking tropical cyclones and winter storms. This presentation will emphasize how to use polar orbiting imagery found on the web to better connect your viewers with the weather going on outside your station's window.
