May 2, 2019 - California, U.S. - File - Each day, weather satellites take hundreds of thousands of atmospheric soundings to gather data for forecasting. The groundbreaking idea of using this method dates to the late 1950's, when Earth-observing satellites were a brand-new technology. Scientist Lewis Kaplan developed a way to calculate temperature in the atmosphere for weather forecasting: by measuring the vibration of molecules at different altitudes. This image is an artist's rendering of NASA's Nimbus-3 spacecraft. Launched in 1969, it was the third in a series of meteorological satellites. (Credit Image: ? NASA/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)
