These can be translated into hour-by-hour maps of the atmosphere's circulation, which is responsible for the weather. Particularly useful will be cloud pictures from oceans and polar regions, where few ground weather stations exist at present. Eventually weathermen, watching the whole earth's clouds through the electronic eyes of several satellites, may be able to predict the advance of cold and warm fronts, spot newborn...
