Scientists from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), for example, use satellite imagery to map potential sea level rise in Senegal, and combine data on precipitation and flooding in Malawi with household survey information to track which populations will be most affected by flash floods. Meanwhile, the State Department is using space-gathered data to study soil content in the Horn of Africa \u2013 where scientists may not have field access \u2013 to help guide climate policy together with its partners in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of government and commercially derived remote sensing data is helping scientists fill in coverage gaps, develop new climate mitigation techniques, and more deeply monitor methane and greenhouse gas emissions. But those in the field say there\u2019s more to be done: The vast swaths of raw data they now have access to need to be translated into actionable information at a faster pace and in a digestible manner, so policymakers can create more effective policies to combat climate change. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85ca44;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85ca44 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85ca45').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85ca45'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>How Government Agencies Use Satellite Data <\/h3>\n<p>Since the 1960s, NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Weather Bureau \u2013 now called the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) \u2013 have worked together to conduct Earth science research, with NASA developing observational systems like the Landsat constellation to acquire space-based land remote sensing data. As the Landsat constellation remains operational to this day, it has provided the world\u2019s longest continually acquired collection of space-based data, per the Space Capital report. <\/p>\n<p>Since the Landsat 1 launch in 1972, climate scientists have been able to build a picture of climate change using a variety of remote sensing data like electro-optical (EO) imagery and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). NOAA\u2019s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) has been developing pilot programs to study how radio occultation (RO) techniques can help monitor climate changes. Radio occultation measures properties like atmospheric density from space, for example by calculating the angle of a GPS radio signal bending as it travels through the Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The Commercial Data Program currently acquires RO technology from providers Spire Global and GeoOptics for weather and climate applications, says Mitchell Goldberg, NESDIS chief scientist. The resulting RO data are used by operational weather forecast centers across the world and for monitoring climate change. Currently, the administration uses a combination of government- and commercial-provided RO measurements to better study atmospheric changes, and the future mix of government and commercial RO is being discussed, Goldberg says.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, NOAA has used data acquired via other U.S. government space systems, like NASA, but also satellites operated by allies such as the European Space Agency (ESA), or the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Goldberg says. \u201cNow, the next group are the commercial vendors, which have very attractive, very capable systems,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg says he\u2019s looking for more ways that NOAA entities can better harness satellite data. He chairs the administration\u2019s Satellite User Needs Working Group, which conducts periodic surveys that help uncover data gaps in current programs of record, and recently launched a study assessing all available commercial satellite data providers and how their services could support NOAA line offices. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe commercial sector is really exploding, and so we\u2019re going through the process within NOAA, to determine what type of data we really need for our stakeholders,\u201d Goldberg says. Broadly, the working group sees commercial providers supplementing government-built data collection, to furnish higher tempo resolution and retrieve the data more quickly, he says. <\/p>\n<p>NASA is also exploring the potential of radio occultation data. The agency started looking at this \u201cinteresting new data set\u201d several years ago, says Will McCarty, program scientist at NASA\u2019s science mission directorate. <\/p>\n<p>McCarty became the initial project scientist on the Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program, which formally launched in 2020 after a successful pilot, and now explores the viability of new satellite data types, and to create new procedures for NASA to work with commercial data vendors. The CSDA effort is exploring a wide swath of remote sensing data options, from EO\/IR, to SAR, to RO. At the moment, the program office is working with companies Teledyne Brown Engineering, Maxar Technologies, Planet, and Spire Global, and has ongoing or planned evaluations with Airbus, BlackSky, GHGSat, GeoOptics, Iceye US, and Capella Space, according to McCarty.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is not for commercial satellite systems to replace NASA\u2019s flagship birds, which can provide more accurate measurements than smaller satellites, but to fill in gaps, he notes. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85d0eb;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85d0eb = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85d0ec').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85d0ec'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat these small satellites and constellations provide us that the big satellites can\u2019t, is the ability to measure more frequently,\u201d he says. That helps climate and weather scientists observe short-term impacts of climate change, such as landslides or floods, on top of long-term evolutions that are monitored by government satellites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe supplementary data is providing extra information; it\u2019s not replacing the information content that our existing satellites are already targeting,\u201d says McCarty. <\/p>\n<p>Increased access to satellite data will help scientists study both climate monitoring as well as mitigation of the effects of climate change, notes Goldberg. Amid the abnormal heat waves in Europe, flash floods and landslides in Pakistan, and a historic drought in China, more Earth observation is needed not only to track the effects of climate change, but to provide more early warning and allow populations to prepare adequately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where the commercial industry can help us quite a bit,\u201d says Goldberg. <\/p>\n<p>The public is expecting more rapid responses to extreme weather events, and for that to happen, NOAA needs more predictable, faster weather forecasts. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there\u2019s a heavy precipitation event taking place, you want to know with high precision and higher accuracy, to be able to forecast from minutes well into days [or] one week, two weeks,\u201d he adds. That could require access to a new satellite constellation that can provide more frequent observations.<\/p>\n<p>For climate monitoring, NESDIS will need less frequent observations, but higher quality and longer continuity constellations, \u201cso you can track over decades, into the future,\u201d Goldberg says.<\/p>\n<p>As NESDIS continues its survey of available satellite data providers, several opportunities stand out to Goldberg. Constellations that could detect fires from Low-Earth Orbit  (LEO) would be very interesting, he notes. \u201cIf you imagine LEO constellations providing 30-minute tempo resolution at 20-meter resolution, so you can really see fire perimeter lines, we would definitely be very interested in that.\u201d Data stemming from SAR sensors would also be helpful to better monitor sea ice levels and flooding situations, and scientists can also derive ocean winds from that technology, he notes. <\/p>\n<p>But the degree to which NESDIS can harness that commercially derived data hinges on its budget, Mitchell adds. The Commercial Data Program to acquire RO data is funded, but for any new commercial data opportunities, \u201cwe will have to do that analysis and then we\u2019ll go through the process of submitting budget requests,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85d515;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85d515 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85d516').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85d516'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover mx-auto\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USTuXk2pRraoNnRmNOGA_Tanager_Rendering.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"p-3 bg-gray-300 bg-opacity-50 italic mx-auto w-full\">Rendering of Planet\u2019s methane-monitoring satellites called Tanager. Photo: Planet <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The Promise of Satellite Data for Methane Tracking<\/h3>\n<p>Methane tracking is one area that has proven more elusive for climate scientists in the past, but new technologies and processes are now putting it within reach.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperspectral imagery has many scientists excited about new ways to track methane, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Earth imaging company Planet has teamed up with NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to fly hyperspectral imaging sensors in a new constellation called Tanager to map emissions from methane, carbon dioxide, and other environmental indicators. Open data pools provided by public-private venture Carbon Mapper and the California Air Resources Board will make the evidence freely available, per Planet.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, companies like Montreal-based GHGSat are providing new data to climate scientists with its ability to measure high-resolution methane from space. Scientists could previously measure methane on the spatial scales of kilometers; GHGSat can measure it on the order of 30 meters, NASA\u2019s McCarty says. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re actually able to see, potentially, individual plumes from individual sources, while our larger satellites can really only see the broad global coverage of what the methane fields look like,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>NOAA plans to work with the commercial airline industry to put new sensors on aircraft that can track atmospheric data as planes ascend and descend, Ariel Stein, acting director of the administration\u2019s Global Monitoring Laboratory and director of the Air Resources Laboratory, recently told U.S. lawmakers. The U.S. government needs both global measurements and modeling, but also local measurements to properly track methane and other greenhouse gasses, Stein said. In situ data from satellites and information gathered from airborne platforms will be critical. Each environment \u2013 from an industrial area, to an urban city, to a forest \u2013 will also require a different sensor or solution set, he said.<\/p>\n<p>While federal agencies have made strides in greenhouse gas measurement, there are still some knowledge gaps to overcome, said Bryan Hubbel, national program director for air, climate, and energy at the Office of Research and Development at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis work includes resolving uncertainties in various airborne and satellite systems, establishing approaches to capture information about source locations and operational status, and identifying locations and events that can account for disproportionate amounts of greenhouse gas emissions,\u201d Hubbel told the House subcommittees. <\/p>\n<h3>Making Satellite Data Actionable <\/h3>\n<p>After decades of building bespoke space systems to gather imagery, now, \u201cwe are being chased by data,\u201d said Robert Cardillo, chief strategist and board chairman at Planet Federal, and former director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). <\/p>\n<p>But the explosion of information gathered by remote sensing technologies brings with it the increased likelihood of false data being introduced to the stream \u2013 whether by accident or for nefarious reasons, he shared during a recent Planet-sponsored webinar. Geospatial assurance is now a critical element to keep in mind, especially when the data sources are not known or validated, he added. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85dab6;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bb3c85dab6 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85dab7').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bb3c85dab7'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Climate scientists will take all the data they can get, but in order to move from observing raw images to developing policy, they need a way to translate the information into understandable facts, while also taking bias into account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about bringing together the data and models that we have, but then also creating the interface that makes that easy to access,\u201d said Karen St. Germain, Earth Science division director at NASA\u2019s Science Mission Directorate. The goal is to make the data \u201ceasy to access and understand by users at all levels, to inform the decisions they have before them,\u201d she told the House subcommittees. <\/p>\n<p>Pilot projects are one way to help stakeholders understand the information derived from satellite data. Government officials cited the way the U.S. and its allies and partners have harnessed commercially derived satellite data to assess the ongoing war in Ukraine, and how that data has helped inform issues surrounding food and water insecurity in other nations. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. State Department has developed a pilot project along those lines, said the department\u2019s climate change specialist Chelsea Cervantes de Blois. She called it \u201can excellent opportunity\u201d to develop toolkits that harness commercially derived satellite data that supports global climate change efforts. \u201cIt\u2019s quite exciting to see that we are using such tools and such imagery, to improve and design toolkits that we haven\u2019t had before,\u201d she said during the Planet webinar.<\/p>\n<p>The ubiquitous use of satellite data is a big bonus for climate scientists. As more remote sensing providers come online, their data may have scientific use even if that\u2019s not their primary purpose. \u201cSomething that makes one person\u2019s data noisy or is a source of error, may actually be a very useful piece of information to someone else,\u201d says McCarty.<\/p>\n<p>But data volume remains a challenge, and the climate science community needs to converge and exploit both the traditional Earth science element \u2013 including chemistry, physics, and meteorology \u2013 and data science. New technologies like hyperspectral imagery have a lot of promise, but come with their own challenges \u2013 hyperspectral imagery comprises 10 to 100 times more raw data than electro-optical imagery, says McCarty. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you handle that?\u201d he says. \u201cAnd then how do you expect an Earth system scientist, who\u2019s not a computer scientist, to handle that data as optimally as a computer scientist \u2013 who could probably handle the bits and bytes, but not understand the physics behind it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not every climate scientist is adept at using data processing tools, and not every data scientist can interpret the information they receive into meaningful scientific findings. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have so much data that doing things by hand physically is a challenge, but the data science tools will be a challenge to adapt to,\u201d says McCarty. <strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Vivienne
