Satellite Instruments
Satellite instruments are specialized tools and devices mounted on satellites to collect data about the Earth and its atmosphere. These instruments can measure various parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, as well as capture images of land, oceans, and weather patterns. They play a crucial role in monitoring climate change, natural disasters, and environmental conditions.
Different types of satellite instruments include radar, spectrometers, and cameras. Radar instruments can penetrate clouds to provide detailed information about precipitation, while spectrometers analyze light to identify chemical compositions. Together, these instruments help scientists and researchers understand our planet better and make informed decisions.
