About This Website

This website is operated on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. It is not an official WMO website. It is maintained by SSEC and the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) with support from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Starting around 2020, WMO began major revisions to its public-facing website, including the development of robust content for GCW. That is, of course, the logical place for a WMO program. Over the next few years, much of the content that was originally contained within this SSEC website has been, and will continue to be, migrated to the WMO GCW web pages. In the meanwhile, we will continue to maintain the SSEC website, providing additional, complementary information.
