Central Florida Hurricane Center Hurricane Data Links

Use this if you are searching for a certain type of data, for more generic sources and/or local sites, see the regular Links page.

Official Forecasts

National Hurricane Center

NRL

Good general reference

Skeetobite's Weather - storm tracks and forcasts; historical reference

CMISS - Environmental conditions, Saharan Air Layer, Steering Layers, Computerized Dvorak, Microwave imagery, Wind analysis, etc.

Tropical Atlantic Recon coverage - includes Vortex Recon, HDOB messages, and Dropsondes.

NOAA Dvorak classification

Satellite Imagery

NOAA's SSD site - very good, simple to use with huricane floaters

NASA's GHCC GOES site - very good, fully customizable, long period animations

NOAA's QuikScat hurricane coverage

MODIS high res satellite coverage (not live)

Remote Sensing Systems (SSM/I, TMI, AMSR, QSCAT, and MSU) storm analysis

Tropical RAMSDIS online - satellite coverage

PSU - satellite loops

Washington University - alternative site, but very difficult to use

Radar Sources

US Radar Sites

Official Cancun Radar

Unofficial Western Cuba Radar Loop

KML/KMZ Layers for Google Earth

CMISS IR Satellite Feed

Aircraft Recon, via Tropical Atlantic

US River Height Gauges (this is an auto-refresh wrapper for the non-refreshing KMZ from NOAA)

Everything-in-once package from UIUC - just about every weather KMZ is dynamically linked from this. Don't turn them all on at once.

Forecasting Aids

Model Run Animations

FSU model site - best there is

PSU model site - alternate when FSU is down

UKMET model site (Univ. Wyoming)

NOAA's NCEP model guidance - continental US only

Development and Evolution

Tropical Cyclone Formation Probabilities - via NOAA

FSU cyclone phase

Forecast Tracks

Jonathan Vigh's track and intensity plots

Clark Evan's track and intensity plots

SFWMD track plots

SFWMD Recon Tracks - NHC Forecast Track vs Recon Positions

Sea Surface Temperatures

Navy site - very good

NOAA AOML site

Rutgers site - Good alternative site if the others sites is down; also provides more detailed views

Historical Maps

NOAA interactive viewer of storm tracks - very good

Worldwide storm tracks - shows actual wind speed rather than category

Atlantic storm tracks by year

Reference

Katrina's eye

Isabel's eye (example of Mesovortices)

Dvorak reference
