WALLOPS, Va. — It's an anonymous and secluded place from which to distribute satellite weather images watched by practically the whole world.
The Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station, located near Chincoteague Island, is a vital link in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's mission to provide accurate weather data to the nation.
Passed by countless motorists every day, virtually everyone sees the results of the work that goes on there, in the form of the satellite images used in television weather broadcasts.
