Satellite remote sensing observations can be used to measure sea level pressure, according to a recent Chinese research. Scientists from the National Space Science Center proposed a new method to obtain high temporal and spatial resolution sea level pressure through remote sensing observation. They testified the method using observations from U.S. weather satellite Suomi NPP. Sea level pressure is a very important meteorological index for weather forecasting. It is mainly measured by weather buoys and merchant ships.
