The primary focus of this site is the near real-time presentation of sea surface temperature (SST) imagery for research and educational purposes. The Satellite Communications Facility at the Johns Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory regularly receives and the Ocean Remote Sensing Group records and processes imagery from the Advanced High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites. SST Sections include: Gulf Stream, Chesapeake,CBLAST, Northern Gulf Stream, Southern Gulf Stream,StormWatch, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas. Also: Atlantic Hurricane Track Maps & Images, Satellite Observations of Forest Fires, and more.

You can view either a map of the Earth showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth from the Sun, the Moon, the night side of the Earth, above any location on the planet specified by latitude, longitude and altitude, from a satellite in Earth orbit, or above various cities around the globe. In addition to the Earth, you can also view the Moon from the Earth, Sun, night side, above named formations on the lunar surface. or as a map showing day and night. You can also make expert and custom images of the Moon.

The GOES satellite senses electromagnetic energy at five different wavelengths. There are two wavelengths most commonly shown on weather broadcasts: Infrared and Visible.

The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is part of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS). NESDIS is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Department of Commerce. OSPO is a newly created Office formed by merging the Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD) and the Office of Satellite Operations. As this new OSPO web site continues to grow, it will incorporate the comprehensive satellite information and derived products currently found on the OSO and OSDPD sites.

Home page of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service containing environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation's economy,security, environment, and quality of life. This data portal provides access to global maps representing a variety of observations from satellites, ground stations and historical collections.

Data and imagery are at the forefront of SSEC’s research mission. Our Data Center receives, processes and archives data from polar-orbiting and geostationary meteorological satellites operated by the U.S., as well as other meteorological agencies around the world. SSEC scientists use this data, as well as data from ground-based and aircraft-based remote sensing instruments, to create the imagery and products you see.

The Marine Meteorology Division, located in Monterey, California (NRL-MRY), is part of NRL's Ocean and Atmospheric Science and Technology Directorate, which contains six divisions performing broadly based scientific research and advanced technology development in the fields of marine geosciences, acoustics, oceanography, marine meteorology, remote sensing, and space science. NRL-MRY is co-located with the Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) and has developed and transitioned to FNMOC the data assimilation, global, and mesoscale weather forecast models, aerosol prediction systems, and satellite applications products that form the backbone of the Navy’s worldwide environmental forecasting capability.
