You can look at the photos of the inside of this unit as well as some other similar units on my PiAware ADS-B pages of this website. This unit is easy to find, including one here on Amazon. Needless to say the NOAA APT satellites orbit (move around the earth) and they pass a few times overhead at each location on earth, generally twice a day but at times more passes can be captured. If you are interested in building a receiver for these, please visit the Setting up a GOES Geosynchronous Weather Satellite Receiver using a Raspberry Pi page on this website. GOES satellites are very directional and use 1.6941GHz. GOES-13 (2006) 75° W “East coast view” - Not Active.Geostationary Orbiting Environmental Satellites (GOES) Weather Satellites are: The latter is perhaps a different article as I would not recommend starting with those. As well as some geostationary satellites. The newer Meteor line of satellites (M2 specifically) from Russia, which provides much higher resolution. There are the ones I will be focusing on above. The NOAA-19 APT image resolution is 4-km (2.5-mi). Multistation composite image creating the worlds longest APT images.I should start out by saying that there are many ways to go about doing this. Sea Surface Temperature: creates a false colour image by combining sensors 3 and 4 (Infrared) and using a pre-defined palette colour the image.

This sensor covers the full range temperatures from very cold cloud tops to very hot deserts. Thermal: Creates false color images using the temperatures from (sensor 4) Thermai Infrared image. The two images are the two channels sent by the satellite with channel A (left) switching between sensor 1 (visible) or 2 (near-IR) during the day and sensor 3 (mid-IR) at night and channel B (right) showing sensor 4 (thermal-IR) at all times during normal operation. The earth appears "upside down" on Northbound passes. These are images as they come from the satellite without alteration. HVCT false colour: creates a false coloured image by combining a sensor 1 or 2 (visible/near infrared) image with a sensor 4 image (thermal infrared) to create an image in which clouds are tinted by their temperature. The likelihood and intensity of precipitation increases as the colour goes from green to yellow to orange to red to black to white. Map Coloured IR with Precip: uses sensor 4 (thermal infrared) to create a false coloured image showing areas of likely precipitation. Multi-Spectral Analysis: combines a sensor 1 or 2 (visible/near infrared) image with a sensor 4 (thermal infrared) image to create a near true colour, near visible image of the earth.
