"Data and imagery are at the forefront of SSEC’s research mission. Our Data Center receives, processes and archives data from polar-orbiting and geostationary meteorological satellites operated by the U.S., as well as other meteorological agencies around the world. SSEC scientists use this data, as well as data from ground-based and aircraft-based remote sensing instruments, to create the imagery and products you see below."
