Accurate satellite spectral emission and reflectance data has a wide range of possible applications on many time scales across the hydrological, meteorological, climatological, and limnological sciences, with a few listed below.

--Lake state: visible reflectance and thermal infrared data is useful for estimating lake temperature turbidity, chlorophyll concentration, and the movement of currents, lens, and other characteristics of lake state.

--Lake-effect snowstorm forecasting. Remote sensing of the lake helps to estimate the conditions favorable for the occurrence of lake-effect snowstorms.

--Stratification and mixing. Satellite and in situ heat flux measurements could provide valuable information on lake stratification and energy transfer, which influenced the time scale of the thermal response of the lake to atmospheric forcing.

--Regional climate variations. Monitoring of fluctuations in volume, surface area and temperature of the Great Salt Lake help to define the hydrological cycle of the Great Salt Lake Basin.
