Climate-Related Satellites

1) (From AI): Several countries operate climate satellites, including the United States, China, and Japan. Other countries, such as those within the European Space Agency (ESA) and those participating in the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), also contribute to climate monitoring through their satellite programs.
2) Satellites look at the Earth’s surface and transmit data about it. Of far greater importance is what’s happening beneath the surface–in our oceans, within our glaciers, etc.
