IMAGES: 2015 NOAA Satellite Conference

The 2015 NOAA Satellite Conference took place on April 27‒May 1, 2015, in Greenbelt, Maryland. The theme of the conference was "Preparing for the Future of Environmental Satellites." The conference brought together users and providers of polar-orbiting and geostationary satellite data, products, and applications, from the public, private, and academic sectors. As the next generation of satellites becomes operational, all users will need to enhance or replace current receiving equipment and basic processing software. The conference consisted of invited oral and poster presentations with emphasis on environmental satellite technological, scientific, educational and training opportunities, and direct readout and re-broadcast services to raise awareness of upcoming enhancements and prepare for their use.
