  skos:definition """The Russian Meteor-2 series of spacecraft are polar-orbiting weather
satellites designed to provide continuous daily coverage of the Earth's
surface and weather patterns. The Meteor-2 provides global data on the
distribution of clouds, snow and ice, radiation fluxes, atmospheric
temperature, humidity sounding data, cloud-top heights and sea-surface
temperature. The series has been of particular importance in providing
information to Russian ships on weather systems and sea-ice conditions.
Typically, two Meteor satellites are in orbit at the same time to
cover almost 80% of the Earth's surface in 6 hours. The Meteor-2
instrumentation consists of (1) three television-type visible and
infrared scanners, (2) an 8-channel scanning radiometer, and (3) a
radiation-flux device for measuring radiation flux densities in
near-space. The two visible scanners operate in the 0.5-0.7 micrometer
region and has a swath width of 2100 and 2400 km at a resolution of 2
and 1 km, respectively. These scanners provide images and mosaics of
arctic and antarctic oceans. The IR scanner operates in the 8-12
micrometer range with a swath width of 2600 km at a resolution of 8
km. The IR scanner provides imagery of clouds and surface. The
8-channel infrared radiometer operates in the 11.1 to 18.7 micrometer
range with a swath of 1000 km at 30 km resolution. This instrument
provides atmospheric sounding data and total ozone content.
