The JPSS satellite is changing the way forecasters are able to predict severe weather, and major natural events which threaten lives and property.
From hurricanes to volcanos, to forest fires and floods, high resolution images and instruments are giving meteorologists new tools to make more accurate predictions days in advance. The JPSS satellite is the first in a series of polar orbiting satellites covering the globe.
West Street produced and directed an overview video for NOAA, the National Weather Service to tell the story of this remarkable new satellite, holding great promise for the future of forecasting.
