NASA and NOAA have partnered with scientists at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and its Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)\u2014and nationwide\u2014to strengthen our satellite imaging capabilities. Based on their experience with JPSS-1's predecessor\u2014the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SuomiNPP)\u2014CIMSS and SSEC researchers have been testing and evaluating JPSS-1 instruments and sensors. Following launch, our scientists will continue their evaluations and research to use the imagery and data to develop tools that will improve critical weather forecasts for the United States.\r\n\r\nLearn more about our involvement in the JPSS program through the stories below and check back for updates.","link":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/articles\/tag\/jpss","name":"JPSS","slug":"jpss","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/41","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=41"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
