SCATSAT-1 (Scatterometer Satellite-1) is a miniature satellite providing weather forecasting, cyclone prediction, and tracking services to India.
 It has been developed by ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore whereas its payload was developed by Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad.
 The satellite took the place of Oceansat-2 which became dysfunctional after its life span of four-and-a-half years.
 India was dependent on NASA’s ISS-RapidScat for prediction of cyclone forecasting and weather prediction.
 The data generated by this mini-satellite will be used by NASA, EUMETSAT and NOAA.
The National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005 was a legislative proposal forwarded in April 2005 by United States Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) to curtail perceived government competition with commercial weather services from the National Weather Service.
 Though the wording of the bill was generally considered unclear, the general consensus among observers was that its effect would be to eliminate public dissemination of National Weather Service data and forecasts except in case of severe weather alerts.
 The bill attracted no cosponsors in the Senate and eventually died in committee, and was roundly criticized by the general public for threatening to move taxpayer-funded data (currently made available for free) to commercial for-profit channels (i.e. behind a pay wall).
 The bill had very few supporters outside the commercial weather industry.

Weather Underground is a commercial weather service providing real-time weather information via the Internet.
 Weather Underground provides weather reports for most major cities across the world on its website, as well as local weather reports for newspapers and websites.
 Its information comes from the National Weather Service (NWS), and over 250,000 personal weather stations (PWS).
 The website is available in many languages, and customers can access an ad-free version of the site with additional features for an annual fee.
 Weather Underground is owned by The Weather Company, a subsidiary of IBM.
The weather media in the United States includes coverage of weather and weather forecasting by farmers' almanacs, newspapers, radio, television stations, and the internet.
 Farmers' Almanacs have taken a stab at forecasting for the following year or so for around two centuries.
 At first, weather media included reporting on past events, with forecasting playing a role from the late 19th century onward.
 Weather-related information proliferated to near real-time after the invention of the telegraph.
 Radio and satellite broadcasts made weather-related communication ever quicker, with the World Wide Web making broadcasting and reporting nearly instantaneous.
 By the 1990s, sensationalism played a role in weather coverage.
StormGeo is one of the largest global providers of decision support for weather sensitive operations.
 Through the provision of tailored weather forecasting services StormGeo helps companies to manage risk, control costs, plan better and increase revenue.

The Deutscher Wetterdienst , ] , or DWD for short, is the German Meteorological Office, based in Offenbach am Main, Germany, which monitors weather and meteorological conditions over Germany and provides weather services for the general public and for nautical, aviational or agricultural purposes.
 It is attached to the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure.
 The DWDs principal tasks include warning against weather-related dangers and monitoring and rating climate changes affecting Germany.
 The organization runs atmospheric models on their supercomputer for precise weather forecasting.
 The DWD also manages the national climate archive and one of the largest specialized libraries on weather and climate worldwide.
The history of surface weather analysis concerns the timetable of developments related to surface weather analysis.
 Initially a tool of study for the behavior of storms, surface weather analyses became a work in progress to explain current weather and as an aid for short term weather forecasting.
 Initial efforts to create surface weather analyses began in the mid-19th century by using surface weather observations to analyze isobars, isotherms, and display temperature and cloud cover.
 By the mid-20th century, much more information was being placed upon the station models plotted on weather maps and surface fronts, per the Norwegian cyclone model, were being analyzed worldwide.
 Eventually, observation plotting went from a manual exercise to an automated task for computers and plotters.
 Surface analysis remains a manual and partially subjective exercise, whether it be via hand and paper, or via a workstation.
