The description fits polar satellites as they orbit in a north-to-south direction and drift about 15 degrees westward over the earth's surface during each orbit, allowing them to obtain images of the entire Earth twice a day. Automated Surface Observing Systems and Doppler satellites are not designed for this purpose, and geostationary satellites orbit in an east-to-west direction and remain fixed over the same location on the Earth's surface.
