Over successive orbits these strips eventually cover the entire globe and provide universal image coverage of the Earth. The result is that you end up with data that can produce an image of a strip around the entire Earth underneath the satellite's orbit that is as wide as the satellites field of view (which is only a few hundred km generally). It uses a "pushbroom" imager which means that at any given instant it is only taking a picture of a single strip that is one pixel wide, but as it moves in its orbit (at roughly 8 km/s orbiting every few hours) that strip pans across the Earth. Take the example of "GeoEye-1", a commercial Earth imaging satellite.

Labels and map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. Imagery is captured at approximately 10:30 local time for “AM” and 13:30 local time for “PM”. HD satellite images are updated twice a day from NASA polar-orbiting satellites Aqua and Terra, using services from GIBS, part of EOSDIS. The heat sources overlay shows areas of high temperature using the latest data from FIRMS. Tropical storm tracks are created using the latest data from NHC, JTWC, NRL and IBTrACS. Weather forecast maps use the latest global model data from DWD ICON and NOAA-NWS GFS. Data is limited to areas with radar coverage, and may show glitches/anomalies. Radar detects rain and snow in real-time. Blue clouds at night represent low-lying clouds and fog. EUMETSAT Meteosat images are updated every 15 minutes.Ĭity lights at night are not real-time. Live weather images are updated every 10 minutes from NOAA GOES and JMA Himawari geostationary satellites. Explore beautiful interactive weather forecast maps of rain, snow, wind speed, temperature, humidity, and pressure. Watch LIVE satellite images with the latest rainfall radar.
Track hurricanes, tropical storms, severe weather, wildfire smoke and more. Zoom Earth visualizes global weather in real-time.
