Satellite observations of the atmosphere on a global scale begun 23 years ago. In the intervening period, satellite sensors and operational techniques for the use of the data has evolved to a high degree of proficiency. This paper identifies and attempts to quantify, to the extent possible, many of the current benefits and uses being derived from the United States' Operational Environmental Satellite System. The benefits discussed herein are evidence that the operational environmental satellite has earned its place as an irreplaceable weather and ocean observing tool.
