Quant à la localisation systématique dans l'espace des grandes masses nuageuses, elle est rendue possible par deux types d'équipements : les radars d'observation météorologique et les satellites météorologiques soit à défilement, soit géostationnaires. Par des mesures radiométriques infrarouges les satellites fournissent également des informations précieuses sur la température et par conséquent l'altitude du sommet des masses nuageuses. 3, record 1, French, - satellite%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique%20g%C3%A9ostationnaire
