JPSS orbits Earth and measure its land, ocean, and atmosphere conditions. These measurements will help us predict our weather and understand our climate. Learn more in this comic.
Earth-observing satellites like the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) help scientists measure snowfall in remote areas where scientists can’t measure the snow themselves.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, and severe snowfalls happen more often than ever. We rely on spacecraft orbiting Earth to warn us of such weather. We also rely on spacecraft to measure climate features, such as the average rainfall in a region.
JPSS-1 will orbit Earth and measure its land, ocean, and atmosphere conditions. These measurements will help us predict our weather and understand our climate.
