Ground Station Type

Automatic Ground Stations are local, semi-permanent stations that record and upload satellite transmissions automatically once per day. Manual ground stations are DIY and often mobile; operators manually record and upload satellite transmissions.

After weeks of excessive heat and smoke, today's image from NOAA 15 captures the arriving atmospheric river, bringing much needed rain amidst a record-setting drought in the Western US and Washington, and the first hints of fall on the horizon. At this point, each additional day of decoding a transmission from the one remaining program satellite is a gift.
