Abstract In the Soviet Union experiments on obtaining meteorological information by means of man-made Earth's satellites were initiated in 1966 (the “Meteor” meteorological system). Starting with 1975 the launches of the “Meteor-2” updated meteorological satellites of the second generation were carried out. The detailed information about the Soviet meteorological satellite system can be found in [9]. Below, the problems concerning the use of satellite data in schemes of long-range weather forecasts are considered. Particular attention is paid to the role of external sources of energy. The role of cloud cover over the oceans is emphasized as a heat influx regulator in the process of absorption radiant solar heat by the ocean. The dynamic and statistical method of ocean heat memory parameterization is stated.
