The uses of satellite imagery.

Uses of satellite images. Satellite imagery was made available to the public when nasa launched their first landsat mission in 1972. Satellites provide the meteorologists with the ability to see the weather on a global scale they allow them to follow the effects of phenomena like the volcanic eruptions and the burning gas and the oil fields to the development of large systems like the hurricanes. Satellites are used in the field of oceanography now the marine scientists and marine biologists can detect everything that. On these images clouds show up as white the ground is normally grey and water is dark.

There are three main types of satellite images available. Less mainstream uses include anomaly hunting a criticized investigation technique involving the search of satellite images for unexplained phenomena. In 1998 a satellite failure demonstrated this dependence. Visible satellite pictures can only be viewed during the day since clouds reflect the light from the sun.

Forty four years and 100 satellites later humans have found countless ways to use this technology for commercial humanitarian academic and personal reasons. Satellite images have many applications in meteorology oceanography fishing agriculture biodiversity conservation forestry landscape geology cartography regional planning education intelligence and warfare.
