  • Abstract
    The Global Weather Experiment now drawing to a close has depended heavily on observations made by meteorological satellites in obtaining weather information from both Hemispheres. The roles played by the Meteosat and Tiros `N¿ systems are described in broad detail and a preliminary assessment of the meteorological data points the way to future improvements in weather forecasting techniques.
