I know there is a list of links under "Storm Links" to the right, I'm interested in seeing what everyone uses/prefers. Maybe we can get a good list compiled! I'll start: Official Forecasts http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ - NHC http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html - NRL Good general reference http://www.skeetobiteweather.com/ - Skeetobite's site - storm tracks and forcasts; historical reference http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/atlantic/storm/storm04L.html - Environmental conditions, Saharan Air Layer, Steering Layers, Computerized Dvorak, Microwave imagery, Wind analysis, etc. http://twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu/tropical.html - Ohio State tropical weather site, including Vortex Recon (usually recon posted here faster than in NHC site) Model Run Animations http://moe.met.fsu.edu/tcgengifs/ - FSU model site - best there is http://met.psu.edu/tropical/tcgengifs/ - PSU model site - alternate when FSU is down http://weather.uwyo.edu/models/fcst/ukmet.html - UKMET model site (Univ. Wyoming) http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/ - NOAA's NCEP model guidance (continental US only) http://gray.ftp.clickability.com/wctvwebftp/wrf/ - WRF run from a FL TV station (WCTV) - new Model Run Analysis http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/ - FSU cyclone phase Model Run Track/Intensity Graphics http://euler.atmos.colostate.edu/~vigh/guidance/ - best track and intensity forcast graphics around http://moe.met.fsu.edu/~acevans/models/ - Clark's track and intensity forecast graphics - new http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/omd/ops/weather/plots.html - Track graphics (SFWMD) http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/omd/ops/weather/vortex.html - comparison of forcast track to recon locations - very useful (SFWMD) Historical Maps http://www.solar.ifa.hawaii.edu/Tropical/tropical.html - good simple reference http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/index.html - Atlantic storm tracks by year NOAA also had a real good viewer that could search by zip and radius, but it seems broken right now - http://maps.csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes/index.html Satellite Imagery http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/trop-atl.html - NOAA's SSD site - very good, simple to use with huricane floaters http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/ - NASA's GHCC GOES site - very good, fully customizable, long period animations http://manati.orbit.nesdis.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/qscat_storm.pl - NOAA's QuickScat hurricane coverage http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/ - MODIS high res satellite coverage (not live) http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~gadomski/SAT_ATL/recentir.html - PSU satellite display http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/loops/wxloop.cgi - alternative site, but very difficult to use Analysis Sites http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/positions.html - Dvorak classification http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/genesis.html - Tropical Cyclone Formation Probabilities Sea Surface Temperatures http://www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil/hhc/all_watl.html - Navy SST site http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/sat_data/?product=sst®ion=gulfmexico¬humbs=0 - Good alternative site if the navy site is down; also provides more detailed views Reference Katrina's eye: http://www.esl.lsu.edu/quicklinks/hurricanes/2005/KATRINA/images/Katrina-eye-closeup.gif Isabel's eye: http://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/goes/pub/goes/QTmovies/030912.isabel.mov Dvorak refererence: http://web.archive.org/web/2005090620254..._guide_to_d.htm |

Very nice. Mods, is the current URL (root/cyclone/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=76716&an=0&page=0&gonew=1)a permalink? If not, can we get one? |

I wikized this page at This link anyone (logged in) can edit this and add their favorites. This page is for "I'm looking for this thing about Hurricanes", rather then the main Links page which is more, "What all hurricane websites are there". |

I had a link to a sat map site that was titled ORCA . I found here originally and in changing PC's it was lost, do you know where I could find it again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The name ORCA doesn't ring a bell. I'd check through the sat links on the Site Links section and see if any of them is what you are looking for. Other wise a search engine or a lucky person that knows what it is are your best bet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment is what it stands for, and the map was a flat globe and infrared temp, in motion for wind, and water patterns |

Not sure if this is what your refering to, but here is an old "orca" link ...Unfourtunately, they seem to no longer maintain/update it.. http://orca.rsmas.miami.edu/wx/satellite/index.html |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yes that was it. Sad to see it is not maintained / updated anymore. Thank You |

Maybe I lost the comment before in the former thread, but any explanation why now GFDL model is which bends this storm most to the west and south. ¿Is there a web where these models come with some explanation of the path and the changes of the path like the Discussion part in NHC site? The long linear path so far and the projected one make the most peculiar characteristic of this endless Storm. Never see one of this. |
