tiro (tēˑ·rō),
n a traditional preparation originating from Nigeria, used for cosmetic purposes and as a medicine for the eyes. It is applied to the inner surface of the eyelid, and its application and use is very similar to al kohl and surma. Tiro contains high concentrations of lead; therefore, poisoning is a potential risk associated with its application and use. See also al kohl and surma. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Today, a fleet of geostationary (hovering at a fixed point above the equator) and polar-orbiting (traveling from pole to pole) satellites-- including a more recent, 2,288-pound TIROS, which sent back the picture at left-- provides not only an almost continuous view of weather patterns all over the globe, but also a flood of other data including vegetation cover on land, oceanic and atmospheric temperatures and particle activity surrounding the earth. The NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) program began with the launch of the first TIROS satellite in 1960. |
