Purpose: To familiarize potential users of the Hampton University (HU) Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system with the satellite radiance measurements,
derived product algorithms, and applications of the imaging and sounding
instrument data that is received ( https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/dbs/ ).

For: Professionals Working in Weather Related Sciences (research scientists,
students, teachers, and weather forecasters)
