Supplemental Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) Imager (SMI) Concept

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is to define an approach for placing low-cost meteorological sensors on geosynchronous satellites to provide near real-time high resolution visual and infrared meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) imagery to U.S. Navy Ships at sea in the Indian Ocean and South-West Asia forward operating area.
