Precision surveillance by increasingly-powerful oceanography and weather observation satellites is delivering some priceless insights. Read on, for more about Thales Alenia Space’s specialised satellites and what we’re finding out.
Why Satellite Eyes in the Sky Are More than Ever the Earth’s Best Friend
Today, we can see all the layers in the atmosphere. We can analyse them for temperature, pressure, and gas concentrations. We can detect changes that are the origin of storms, and we can provide advance warning of the kind extreme weather that climate change appears to
