Radio Frequencies Vital to Earth Observation Must Be Guarded, UN Says

Radio frequencies vital to Earth observation must be guarded, UN says

The UN cautioned that radio frequency interference could disrupt measurements and compromise the reliability of forecasts, affecting authorities' ability to prepare for and respond to environmental hazards.

Radio frequencies vital to Earth observation must be protected: UN

Some sensors measure very weak naturally occurring signals at specific frequencies, making protection from harmful interference particularly important. The systems enable observations of the atmosphere, oceans and land, and the transmission of data that supports life-saving early warnings, reliable weather forecasting and long-term climate monitoring. But the UN telecommunications and weather agencies warned on Monday that increasing use of freq…
