POES stands for Polar Operational Environmental Satellite
The Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) is a series of Earth-observing satellites designed to provide crucial meteorological data, supporting weather forecasting and environmental monitoring. Operating in polar orbits, POES collects information on atmospheric conditions, sea surface temperatures, and land surface changes, enhancing the understanding of climate patterns and natural disasters. The data generated by these satellites play a vital role in advancing scientific research and improving global weather prediction capabilities.
