The advantage of a geostationary satellite is that it delivers frequent updates and images over the same area around the clock. (Translated from Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. 2023. Olika typer av satelliter - Geostationära och polära satelliter. https://www.smhi.se/kunskapsbanken/meteorologi/satellit/typer-av-satelliter-1.5933)

The Global Observing System (GOS) represents a coordinated system of individual surface- and space-based observing systems and networks, methods, techniques, facilities and arrangements for making observations on a worldwide scale.
