[edit] Professional current analysis

• National Hurricane Center (public domain)
• Dr. Jeff Masters @ Weather Underground
• Some posters at Storm2k forums (caution needed, many amateurs too)

[edit] Satellite

• Sattelite Services Division (public domain)

  Preset floaters and variety of colors, filters, and channels, some analyzed products (SST, probabilities)

• Interactive GOES (public domain)

  Customizable zooms

  broken: GMS since 2003, METEOSAT since Jan 06

• MODIS (public domain)

[edit] Satellite-derived products

• Wind shear (arrows = direction the tops are blown off)
  • University of Wisconsin
    • Upper-level

      For systems with deep convection

      150-300mb layer mean minus 700-925mb layer mean; has 5-day loop, colored and contour version

    • Mid-level

      For systems with shallow convection

      400-600mb layer mean minus 700-925mb layer mean; has 5-day loop, colored only

• Sea surface temperature
  • From the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory

    SST (7-day loop), Heat content (7-day loop), 26°C isotherm depth, sea height anomaly (i.e. for Loop Current)

  • From the NHC Tropical Forecasting and Analysis Branch

    Daily SST, 7-day SST and anomaly

• Dvorak technique
  • University of Wisconsin

    Advanced Objective

  • Air Force Weather Agency

    auto-updating, needs decoding, Advanced Objective, where's the archive?

  • TAFB (not available to public?)
