I am not sure if I can recall perfectly but somebody mentioned this in a meta posting once. Would the usage of remote sensing to calculate meteorological/oceanographical parameters be on topic ? I meant the process of deriving the values or would that belong better in a GIS SE ?

    $\begingroup$ From the satellite instrumentation of TRMM the process to derive rainfall values would that be on topic ? I presume it can be split up into smaller questions and each question leading to the next. On topic ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I agree, on topic. Meteorology & oceanography are earth sciences & how data is collected for research in these fields is on topic. GIS is more about how data is used & presented. $\endgroup$
