what are the images of satellites produced daily by the weather service used for
Weather satellite Geostationary weather satellites orbit the Earth above the equator at altitudes of 35,880Â km (22,300 miles). Because of this orbit, they remain stationary with respect to the rotating Earth and thus can record or transmit images of the entire hemisphere below continuously with their visible-light and infrared sensors. The news media use the geostationary photos in their daily weather presentation as single images or made into movie loops. These are also available on the city forecast pages of www.noaa.gov (example Dallas, TX).[11]
