A. GOES Image resolution is not very good because of distance from earthCannot see the poles very wellCan view only one hemisphere
B. POES Image resolution is good because it’s closer to earthSees the poles about 14 times a daySees tropical and middle latitude regions twice a day
Use the characteristics for GOES and POES to determine the best satellite to
monitor icebergs.

Monitoring the Global Environment
31
POES offer striking images of fires but can't track smoke plumes like GOES can. (Why?)
32
Biomass Burning
33
Detecting Trace Gases in the Atmosphere
Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?A. Carbon dioxide B. Methane C. Nitrous oxide D. HydrogenE. Water vapor
