Satellite Instrumentation

Monitoring worldwide impacts of climate change and natural hazards, and studying natural resource degradation, require obtaining data via satellites. Through processing satellite data, observers can, for example, properly warn agencies of a potentially disastrous situation mitigating damages. Riverside utilizes satellite instrumentation to obtain real-time field data and disseminate that information to local, state, national and international agencies. A long time partner of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Riverside is currently under contract on several NOAA programs utilizing satellite data.
