The most valuable feature of geostationary meteorological satellites is that they can globally observe atmospheric phenomena uniformly, including overlying areas in the sea, desert, and mountain regions where weather observation is difficult.

The World Weather Watch Programme, as an important part of the World Meteorological Organization's is supported by multiple geostationary and polar-orbiting meteorological satellites that comprise a space-based part of an observation network for severe weather, typhoons, hurricanes, or cyclones around the earth.

Lexical MTSAT System in action

To improve meteorological services in a wide field of activity, such as weather forecast, natural disaster countermeasures, and securing safe transportation, MTSAT series replaced the GMS series that have been in operation since 1977, and occupy the role in the GMS series, covering East Asia and the Western Pacific region from 140 degrees East above the equator.

Lexical Satellite Ground Station Systems are well accepted by the world’s leading meteorological offices.
