Short answer

How can I use my AI to track satellite weather?

Your agent uses the INMET connector to fetch GOES-16 satellite metadata and direct image URLs. You can then ask it to identify storm movements or specific weather patterns. This gives you visual access to real-time meteorological data.

The outcomes

What you get from this connection

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the weather patterns.

DATA

Live satellite metadata

The AI pulls the latest GOES-16 information. You get specific timestamps and satellite identifiers for the imagery you need.

VISUAL

Direct image access

Your agent retrieves URLs for satellite images. You can view the actual weather maps directly in your client.

ANALYSIS

Storm movement tracking

The AI identifies patterns in the imagery. You can ask it to describe how a specific storm cell is moving or evolving.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You must review the imagery to confirm weather predictions. The AI provides the data, but you make the final call on weather safety.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between INMET's meteorological database and your chat window.

  1. Fetch metadata

    The AI queries the INMET system to find relevant GOES-16 satellite information based on your request.

    get_satellite_images

  2. Locate images

    It identifies the specific image URLs associated with the requested weather event or timeframe.

    get_satellite_images

  3. Interpret patterns

    Your agent looks at the metadata and image links to understand the current atmospheric conditions.

    get_satellite_images

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents the image links and a description of the weather movement to you.

    get_satellite_images

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI predict the weather for next week?

    No. The AI only retrieves and describes existing satellite imagery and metadata provided by INMET.

  • 02

    Does the AI download the images to my computer?

    No. The AI retrieves image URLs that you can view within your AI client.

  • 03

    Can I use this to trigger weather alerts?

    No. The AI can show you what is happening, but it does not have the capability to send automated alerts or notifications.

  • 04

    What satellite does this connector use?

    This connector specifically accesses GOES-16 satellite data.

  • 05

    Can the AI change the satellite settings?

    No. The AI can only request data that the INMET tools make available.
