Satelliitmõõtmised

Satelliitmõõtmised refers to the collection of data and observations from satellites orbiting Earth or other celestial bodies. These measurements provide invaluable information across a wide range of scientific disciplines, including Earth observation, meteorology, climate science, oceanography, geology, and astronomy. Satellites are equipped with various sensors, such as cameras, spectrometers, radar, and lidar, to capture different types of data, including images, temperature readings, atmospheric composition, and surface topography.

The data gathered through satelliitmõõtmised is crucial for understanding global environmental changes, such as deforestation, ice melt, and sea-level rise. It aids in weather forecasting, disaster monitoring, and the management of natural resources. In astronomy, satellite observations have led to groundbreaking discoveries about the universe, from distant galaxies to the characteristics of planets within our solar system. The continuous monitoring capabilities of satellites allow for the tracking of long-term trends and the detection of subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed. Data from satelliitmõõtmised is often publicly available, fostering collaboration and accelerating scientific progress worldwide.
