.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\f[C]sat\ SITE\ IMAGERY_PRODUCT\ [\-i]\ [\-u]\f[]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
sat is a tool that searches for imagery of a slice of the Western
hemisphere as viewed by the GOES\-East and GOES\-West satellites, then
retrieves one of 5 different imagery products: black & white infrared,
color infrared, visible light, water vapor, or a composite of water
vapor and black & white infrared.

.B \f[C]SITE\f[]
GOES satellites really image an entire hemisphere at once, but weather
information customers are usually interested in smaller regions.
The full\-disk GOES image is divided into slices centered on certain
geographical regions or features.
SITE is the geographical region or feature that the view is centered on.
