  "term": "Data collection system",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An integrated system of instruments, communication links, and processing hardware used to gather and relay environmental data from remote, automated platforms to a central receiving station. These systems connect sensors at a Data Collection Platform (DCP) to a satellite, which then retransmits the information to a ground station for analysis and distribution. Geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites operated by agencies like NOAA are used for this purpose.",
