    BOOKMARK THIS PAGE!

    CHECK BACK HERE OFTEN, AS THE PICTURES ARE AUTOMATICALLY
    UPDATED WHENEVER A SATELLITE PASSES OVERHEAD!


    YOU MAY NOTICE THE SOME OF THE PICTURES BELOW
    ARE HALF-DARK AND HALF-LIGHT (split horizontally).
    THIS IS CAUSED WHEN THE VISIBLE SCAN IS TURNED OFF
    FROM THE GROUND WHILE THE SATELLITE
    IS PASSING OVER THE UNITED STATES!(infrared scan remains operational)
    THIS IS NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE (due to lack of visible reflected light!)
    WHEN THE UNITED STATES IS ENTERING NIGHTTIME DARKNESS.

    If image does not appear as a full-screen image,
    move your cursor into the lower right corner of the image.
    You should get an orange "enlarge" box,
    or, a small magnifying glass icon.
    Click on that box to get a full-screen image.

    Explanation of photo descriptives...

    MCIR--Colors the NOAA sensor 4 IR image using a map to color the sea blue and land green. High clouds appear white, lower clouds gray or land/sea colored, clouds generally appear lighter, but distinguishing between land/sea and low clouds may be difficult. Darker colors indicate warmer regions.



    HVCT--Creates a false color image from NOAA APT images based on temperature using the HVC color model. The HVC color model attempts to ensure that different colors at the same value will appear to the eye to be the same brightness and the spacing between colors representing each degree will appear to the eye to be similar. Bright areas are completely unsaturated in this model. Water appears blue and with colors more indicative of land temperatures.



    MSA--Multispectral analysis. Uses NOAA channel 2-4 image and determines which regions are most likely cloud, land, or sea based on an analysis of the two images. Produces a vivid false-colored image as a result. This enhancement does not use a palette nor is it temperature normalized.
