It is expected that the vital satellites to track the hurricane after weeks of the Atlantic Storm season-the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicates to the media to calm the panic behind the closure, with the clarification that the decisive data will continue to be gathered.
The agency announced on Wednesday that the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), owned by NOAA and the Ministry of Defense responsible for collecting environmental data and critical weather, will stop operations on Monday amid a series of federal discounts to management.
The officials said without providing a reason to end the service or information about possible replacement: “Changing the service and ending the service will be permanent.”
However, a NOAA spokesman was quickly blaming news broadcasters for “criticizing” scientists and reporting changing the service in a way that could incite popular anger – later clarified that an other microwave tool on another satellite will continue to provide important readings.
“DMSP is a single data collection in a strong suit of prediction and modeling tools in the nws wallet, which also includes the recently launched microwave microwave data, which was the DPSM planned alternative,” Kim Duster told post-Friday.
“The routine process to rotate and replace data will not pass without anyone noticing it in the previous departments, but the media insists on criticizing the great work performed by NOAA and its dedicated scholars every day.”
Despite the interpretation of TERSE, experts are still concerned that limited data will hinder the efforts to track hurricanes, discover changes in the structure of the storm, and predict accurately to the storm path in actual time.
The predictors depend on the satellites, in the polar accuracy equipped with microwave sensors to track wind speeds and other data related to intensifying tropical storms and hurricanes-especially at night when other monitoring methods are limited.
“This is an incredibly great success for the expectations of the hurricane, and for the matter of millions of Americans living in hurricane areas,” Michael Laurie, a hurricane in South Florida, told the New York Times.
“The nightmare scenario will sleep with a tropical storm and wake up on a hurricane,” he added, explaining that the satellite currents suspended soon are the key to preventing a “sunrise surprise.”
With the microwave notes also allow meteorologists to locate the center of the storm, Lori warned that a few miles can have “tremendous repercussions”.
While military satellites with orbit will not be processed by the federal government.
“We don't want to have less data for no reason,” said Andy Hazleton, a hurricane model at Miami University.
“We are already not getting a lot of microwave data as we want to see operational aspects.”
The news of the program's comment came just two days after the tropical storm Andrea, the first storm called the 2025 Atlantic season, which was formed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in the center of Tuesday.
The hurricane season usually lasts until the end of November.
The White House and the Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to a job request for comment.
