Satellite Links Page

Welcome to our Satellite Links page.

We hope this newly formatted listing helps you more easily find the weather information you are looking for.

If you would like to recommend a site for inclusion, please let us know and we'll consider it.

If you find that a site doesn't work properly or that a link has become outdated, please let us know that as well. We'll update it promptly.

Until then, happy "surfing"!

Icebergs
http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/amrc/iceberg.html
Latest information from the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center. Great polar orbiting satellite views of the B15 Iceberg which broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000 and the C16 iceberg. The B15berg was approximately 295 km long by 37 km wide (170 miles by 25 miles). Its 4,250 square-mile area was nearly as large as the state of Connecticut. The berg has since broken into two. Was this the largest berg ever? Find out here!

Global Satellite Imagery Server from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center - Huntsville, AL.

NASA - GOES Satellite Information
http://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/goes/
Real-time and historical GOES imagery; lots of additional links to GOES data and scientific information.

NASA - MODIS Polar Orbiting Imagery
http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtime/
High-resolution polar orbiting satellite images.

NOAA/NESDIS - GOES Sounder Weather Analysis/Forecasting Support
http://orbit-net.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/soundings/
Weather satellites provide more than just pretty images. Satellites can also probe the atmosphere to determine temperature and moisture profiles (and hence atmospheric stability), much like soundings by weather balloons. The resulting high resolution depictions can be used to identify local regions of potential severe weather development.

NOAA/NESDIS - Weather and Oceanographic Satellite Program
http://www.goes.noaa.gov/
Real-time and retrospective GOES imagery for up to 21 days; also, some significant event imagery and imagery from other weather satellites around the world.

Ozone Hole
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/tovsto/archive/anim/
Historical still images and animations of the Southern Hemisphere ozone hole from polar orbiting satellites.

SST Animation
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/~map/maproom/text/climate_pages/sst_olr/old_sst/sst_9798_anim.shtml
A two year animation shows the onset and demise of El Nino and the start of La Nina. It takes a few minutes to load, but once loaded, it can be replayed over and over again.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - satellite imagery
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/comp/latest_cmoll.gif
It's an awesome global, colorized, infra-red (temperature) view of a prolate spheroid-shaped Earth based on satellite imagery. Nope, the Earth hasn't been flattened, the shape has to do with how the data is collected and displayed.
