Ahora es f\u00e1cil averiguarlo observando las im\u00e1genes satelitales en la televisi\u00f3n o en Internet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>En cambio, hace apenas algunas d\u00e9cadas, los pron\u00f3sticos del tiempo se hac\u00edan mucho m\u00e1s a la buena de Dios. Uno de los problemas era que s\u00f3lo hab\u00eda estaciones meteorol\u00f3gicas en pocos lugares y por esa raz\u00f3n las condiciones clim\u00e1ticas eran casi un misterio en cualquier otra parte del mundo.<\/p>\n<p>Hoy en d\u00eda, los sat\u00e9lites cubren la totalidad de la Tierra. Se puede ver la formaci\u00f3n y los cambios de cada sistema de nubes y tormentas.<\/p>\n<p>El primer sat\u00e9lite meteorol\u00f3gico, el TIROS (Sat\u00e9lite de Observaci\u00f3n por Televisi\u00f3n e Infrarrojos), se lanz\u00f3 el 1 de abril de 1960. Llevaba a bordo dos c\u00e1maras de televisi\u00f3n que transmit\u00edan im\u00e1genes granuladas a la superficie.<\/p>\n<p>Los sat\u00e9lites meteorol\u00f3gicos actuales son m\u00e1s grandes y mucho m\u00e1s avanzados. Proporcionan a los meteor\u00f3logos im\u00e1genes extremadamente detalladas y otra informaci\u00f3n \u00fatil sobre la atm\u00f3sfera y los oc\u00e9anos, lo que les ayuda a afinar sus previsiones. Algunos sat\u00e9lites meteorol\u00f3gicos se mantienen siempre sobre la misma parte de la superficie terrestre. Se encuentran en \u00f3rbitas geoestacionarias, a 36 000 km sobre el ecuador.<\/p>\n<p>Otros orbitan sobre o cerca de los polos Norte y Sur. Esos sat\u00e9lites orbitan mucho m\u00e1s cerca de la superficie (algunos a apenas 800 km) y suministran im\u00e1genes sumamente detalladas y en primer plano de los sistemas clim\u00e1ticos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to know whether it will rain on your picnic or be sunny for your day trip?
