What Does SMS Stand For?
SMS stands for Synchronous Meteorological Satellite
SMS, or Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, refers to a category of satellites designed to continuously monitor and collect meteorological data from a fixed position relative to the Earth. Operating in geostationary orbit, these satellites provide real-time observations of atmospheric conditions, enabling improved weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and disaster management. Their capabilities include capturing images of weather patterns, measuring temperature, humidity, and precipitation, and tracking severe weather events, thus enhancing our understanding of weather systems and supporting informed decision-making in various sectors.
