Remote Sensing Service

IMSG’s satellite remote sensing science and technology team consists of nearly 80 scientists and specialists. Our team’s cutting-edge knowledge has given us the lead in addressing the critical science and technical needs in developing satellite remote sensing applications. Our scientists develop remote sensing algorithms for NOAA’s Environmental Satellite Service. Our expertise includes sensor physics, data calibration and validation, and remote sensing algorithms for the atmosphere, land, and ocean. These algorithms generate data that serve as inputs for weather forecasting, and climate, ocean, air quality, and environmental monitoring.
