Researchers have found that modern weather models can accurately predict the energy that Earth emits and reflects into space, which directly affects the movements of low Earth-orbiting (LEO) satellites.
New research finds that modern weather models can accurately predict satellite movements due to the energy emitted and reflected by the Earth.Researchers have found that modern weather models can accurately predict the energy that Earth emits and reflects into space, which directly affects the movements of low Earth-orbiting satellites.
"Numerical weather models not only simulate weather patterns but also calculate various parameters, including the Earth's energy emissions and reflections under various weather conditions.
Satellites play a crucial role in monitoring vegetation, tracking water resources, and observing glacier evolution through various measurement techniques. These measurements, including image capture and height and gravity field measurements, are essential for studying climate change and its impacts. "Understanding how satellites interact with Earth's atmosphere offers valuable insights into our planet and how it changes over time. The findings contribute to more accurate satellite-based monitoring of terrestrial water resources, and hence to food security, Motlaghzadeh says.Extreme space weather threatens vital satellites orbiting the Earth, including the Global Navigation Satellite Systems which pass through the heart of the outer radiation belt.

Satellites in Low Earth Orbit Affected by Bad Space WeatherSatellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) can deviate from their expected trajectories when bad space weather occurs, causing problems for the International Space Station, China's Tiangong space station, and Earth-observing satellites. The accuracy of these satellites is affected by space weather, with the lower altitudes experiencing a bigger problem due to the variations in Earth's upper atmosphere density. Higher density leads to more drag, slowing down the satellites and causing them to sink towards Earth.
