Echo_of_thunder 1 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Well my friends, we have lost one of the best weather tools to date. the Quickscat satellite For the ones of you that do not know what this is, NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) is a satellite that operates in a near Polar orbit. It circles the Earth every 101 minutes. I was used by NOAA and the NHC to detect winds in hurricane and or typhoons. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/The loss of this satellite will really hurt in the forecasting of these storms throughout the world. It was used not only by the Americans but other countries as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
