This list serves two functions. The primary function is the distribution of NOAA status and prediction bulletins for the GOES and polar weather satellites. This data is the same data available via SCIENCEnet NOAA.SAT bulletin board area. The mail list also acts as a reflector for subscribers' comments and discussion of matters related to weather satellites, ground stations, and associated topics.
