HC Deb 01 February 1966 vol 723 c195W
67. Mr. Gresham-Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what improvements in long-range forecasting will arise from the new series of satellites the United States of America is launching to obtain information about the weather.

Mr. Millan

TIROS satellites will contribute data for research into long-range weather forecasting, but their main purpose is for forecasting one or two days ahead.
