Weather satellites and seismometers - any practical help for tsunamis as like for hurricanes and typhoons?
Question 1:- Can weather satellites detect long and high wave heights such as caused by Tsunamis as in earthquake in Indian Ocean off North Sumatra on 26-12-2004 if alerted by seismometers immediately when large ocean quakes occur or large meteors splashes.?
Question 2:- Does any Geology body alert Oceanography, Maritime or Naval bodies to monitor Tsunamis occurrences, track and record their path for rescue purposes, predict and post warnings of tsunami arrival times at various islands and coastlines?
Question 3:- Are the existing satellites able to record the land covered by tsunamis and coastal changes for rescue purposes and also for preparation for next tsunami?
Question 4:- Surface wind, storm conditions and tides - could they be factored into effect on tsunami severity?. Tides can have effect on people on beaches and fishermen presence on or off shore.
Can somebody please give some answers or set up some warning system.

The last paragraph (mentioning the oil well fires in Kuwait) seems totally out of place, especially with no references or links to appropriate images. ahpook ( talk) 18:20, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Although the article appears to be within reason factually, it's impossible to tell without inline references. Once they're added, this article could be upgraded to C or B class in no time. Thegreatdr ( talk) 06:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
1959 Flat plate radiometer designed by V.E. Suomi and R.J. Parent for the first Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) flew on Explorer-7. The flat plate radiometer (FPR) system was designed to provide a measurement of the global distribution of reflected solar and longwave radiation leaving the earth. With this experiment, Suomi established the important role played by clouds in absorbing radiated solar energy, setting the stage for integration of satellites into the field of meteorology (A Man for All Seasons) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.150.248.237 ( talk) 05:09, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Paragraph 3 of the lede:
"Other environmental satellites can detect changes in the Earth's vegetation, sea state, ocean color, and ice fields. For example, the 2002 Prestige oil spill off the northwest coast of Spain was watched carefully by the European ENVISAT, which, though not a weather satellite, flies an instrument (ASAR) which can see changes in the sea surface."
Okay. So, we acknowledge that there are satellites that are not weather satellites, though tangentially related to weather satellites. We even acknowledge that ENVISAT is not a weather satellite, while describing instruments that can be used for climate analysis - but not weather.
Why? The lede is supposed to be a summary of the article. Yet we use roughly one-fourth of the lede to describe...not weather satellites.
Makes no sense. I would propose removing the entire paragraph, as it has nothing to do with this article. Anastrophe ( talk) 07:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
