摘　　要：介绍了一种新型的云探测卫星CloudSat。首先概述了CloudSat卫星所携带的探测仪器及"A-列车"星座,着重介绍该卫星的主要产品和获取方式,并给出两种天气形势个例的卫星监测,最后探讨了CloudSat卫星产品的可能应用情况。The CloudSat and CALIPSO satellites were launched into space from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at approximately 6 ： 02 a.m. EDT on April 28, 2006, beginning a mission to study clouds from orbit. In this paper, close attentions are paid to a new type cloud detecting satellite-CloudSat. The preceding sections give a general overview of the detecting instruments embarked on CloudSat and the ＂A-Train＂ constellation. The main products of CloudSat and the ways to get them are especially described, and then two samples of cloud detection by CloudSat for different kinds weather of synoptic situations are displayed. At last, the applications of Cloud- Sat productis to some aspects of weather or climate in future are discussed.
