EUROPEAN METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE

EUROPEAN METEOROLOGICAL SERVCE AND SATELLITE

In this post I list some online portals that allow you to view, real-time weather conditions throughout Europe. As we know, the satellites orbiting the earth constantly taking pictures, photos and images that are sent to data processing centers and analyzed properly to monitor the weather conditions that can afflict a certain area of the Earth. So weather may be developed  and we see them, now increasingly, on all local and national news.

But the satellite maps are developed in the centers of the Air Force, with its aircraft and the latest technology, scans the european sky above us. One of the two online services that will list for free to view real time satellite images, is available to italian Air Force.

Finally I will talk about a powerful free software to download  that will allow us to find and study any part of the globe and more. We will go, in fact, even in space.

Here are the best online european meteorological satellite services and software in 2010 - 2011 :

1. SAT24
2. METEOAM
3. GOOGLE EARTH

SAT24 : ITALY-EUROPE SATELLITE IMAGES IN REAL TIME

SAT24 is a European satellite that takes a photo-image of european country but also the whole of Europe every 15 minutes. All European nations are concerned but, especially, those bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The main utility is to check weather conditions to make predictions in the short medium and long distance. The photos can be taken during the day and night and this can be viewed in two ways :

1. Daytime pictures taken by satellites during the day.
2. Night pictures taken by satellite at night.

For images taken at night, visualization technique is via infrared. Once we go on site we can decide to display the weather on the Italian territory : SAT24 ITALY or the whole of Europe : SAT24 EUROPE.

Very well kept site, simple in its use and profit forecast for the fans who, perhaps, want to try to make predictions in the coming hours without waiting to see weather broadcasts on TV.

METEOAM : HOW TO SEE ITALY-EUROPE SATELLITE IMAGES

METEOAM is a web portal dedicated to meteorology in collaboration with the italian Air Force. Indeed, pictures and images that show the whole of Europe are taken every few minutes by a satellite in orbit around the globe : METEOSAT (second generation satellite). But what you can do on this site ? :

1. Looking in detail the situation of the Italian territory.
2. Looking in detail the situation of Europe.
3. Study the satellite images taken at this address.
4. Read the weather forecast for the next hours, days.

Here the usefulness of the Web. These online services are important, useful and fun to use at the same time. A site suitable for novices but also experts who want to study, for work-study, numerous maps, photos and satellite images and data related to them. Thanks to Italian Air Force (in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence), which through sophisticated scientific equipment, flying in our sky, not only to protect against threats but also to capture information and data relevant to the climate forecasts ( which may well prove, in some cases, threats).

GOOGLE EARTH : PHOTOS AND SATELLITE IMAGES IN 3D

The third service that I list is not really an online service but a free software download, powerful and developed by engineers of the American colossus : GOOGLE. The program is called GOOGLE EARTH. You know GOOGLE MAPS, which allows us to find a street, road, area, in a given point on Earth and to calculate various routes between point of departure and arrival ? Well, GOOGLE EARTH is much more.

This software is the result of the latest computer technology applied to the field of computer graphics and 3D world. In practice, around the globe, space, the seabed, were scanned and reproduced on a computer through the use of images and data received from orbiting satellites as well as those sent around the space to study and search for new planets, stars, galaxies and celestial bodies.

GOOGLE EARTH  : just get comfortable in front of a good computer (which must have a good graphics card and a powerful CPU) and display on screen any area of the Earth but not only. Even very large areas of space. We can then see :

1. Satellite maps.
2. Maps of lands.
3. Buildings, streets, zones of a single city.
4. Seabed in the third dimension.
5. Galaxies, planets, celestial bodies.

Enjoy to this beautiful video of software presentation :

The software is like a huge database with many photos and satellite images as well as 3D reconstructions, of world and space. The version is updated constantly and you can download some special plugs in for a more detailed study and even more wonderful. Suitable for everyone : students, geologists, mathematicians, astronomers, etc...

One of the best 3D software in the world to download at this address : GOOGLE EARTH.
