 Geostationary Satellite Server - This site, maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), provides GOES satellite imagery and products such as East CONUS, West CONUS, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii satellite imagery in infrared, visible, and water vapor formats. The site also provides GOES 8 & 10 composite satellite images and full disk (hemisphere) satellite images.

Global GPS Time Series - The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of 24 satellites which is used for navigation and precise geodetic position measurements. The GPS satellites are operated by
the United States Department of Defense. Daily position estimates are determined from satellite signals which are recorded by GPS receivers on the ground. This site provides data from a global
receiver network that is collected by the International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) and analyzed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under
contract with NASA. Horizontal velocities, mostly due to motion of the Earth's tectonic plates, are represented on the maps by arrows
extending from each site. This technology is now being applied to study earthquakes in the Los Angeles basin.

NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service - The NOAA NESDIS mission is to provide and ensure timely
access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to
promote, protect, and enhance the Nation’s
economy, security, environment, and quality
of life. To fulfill its responsibilities NESDIS
acquires and manages the Nation’s
operational environmental satellites,
provides data and information services, and
conducts related research.

Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) - The Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) is a collaborative project to install 250 permanent, continuously recording Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in
and around the Los Angeles basin to provide accurate deformation information that will improve our estimates of earthquake hazards. Major participants in SCIGN include NASA/JPL,
The United States Geological Survey (USGS), and The University of California San Diego, operating under the umbrella of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC). Chief
sponsors of the SCIGN network are the W. M. Keck Foundation, The National Science Foundation, NASA, and the USGS. Currently, SCIGN is in the process of identifying and
selecting candidate sites for installation based on the DOTS3 map.

The GOES Project - This site is the most comprehensive information source for the GOES
(Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite) system. The new series of GOES satellites provides significant improvements over the
previous GOES system in weather imagery and atmospheric sounding
information. This enhanced system improves weather services, particularly the
forecasting of life- and property-threatening severe storms.
