High-resolution picture transmission

HRPT transmissions are available around the world and are available from both polar and geostationary weather satellites.

[2] On NOAA KLM satellites the transmission power is 6.35 Watts, or 38.03 dBm.

Basic reception equipment includes a parabolic dish antenna attached to an Azimuth-Elevation unit.

As an alternative to receiving direct broadcast from polar orbiting satellites, users in Europe and Africa can also receive rebroadcast data from the EUMETSAT EUMETCAST service via Digital Video Broadcasting using a simple stationary satellite dish.
