Abstract

To date, direct benefits derived from operational meteorological systems have been witnessed in meteorology, climatology, and oceanography applications. The rapid evolution of meteorological satellites led to improved observation of Earth’s environment and more accurate forecasts of the weather, especially of hazards and extreme weather events. Changes in weather and climate can significantly impact our economy, infrastructure, and daily lives.

“Climate is what we expect,

weather is what we get.”

—Mark Twain (1835–1910)
