cloud cover satellite loops
Sunday, November 19th, 2017 01:41 amThis site is pretty neat:
RAMMB Slider (Satellite Loop Interactive Data Explorer)
It shows an animated video of cloudcover over a whole hemisphere of the earth. You can select the time period to loop through. There's a choice of 2 satellites - one shows the Americas, and another shows Asia/Pacific.
I've had some trouble with the page, especially when trying to zoom or move the viewpoint, and when changing the options, but when it's working, it's very cool seeing how the clouds move, in daytime and at night.
The website was linked to from this report about the Total Eclipse in SC.
It linked to this video of the animated cloud clover over SC on the day of the Eclipse. Based on that, it was at least partially cloudy over most of the state.
