   Try the amateur radio magazine "QST" about two or three years ago. They had an article
or two on demodulating and decoding some satellites for display on
computers, I can't remember if it was Atari 8 bit or PCs... maybe both.  If you
really meant 'weather radar' I don't know where to get info (like the
weather radar that the Weather Channel displays) but if you want visible light
or IR photographs I believe there is still stuff going on at 130-140 MHz 
and certainly around 1.6 GHz where the GOES satellites transmit.
   There is also WEFAX hardware available, again in amateur radio circles, 
which will dump directly to a printer from data presently transmitted by 
wire services and others. Try

I built a system for copying ESSA and NIMBUS sattellites in the early 70's
but I don't think they are running anymore, though the same modulation
techniques are probably in use (NBFM with 2400 HZ subcarrier modulated
to provide synch and luminance info, 200? lines/min 800? lines/frame.)
