Meteorologists gauge wind speed and other variables by measuring satellite signals as they pass through the atmosphere; geologists study earthquakes using GPS receivers placed along fault lines; and technicians synchronize computer networks for everything from power grids to financial networks using the satellite signals' precise timing...
