GOES Viewer

As a professional weather nerd I had to comment on how elegant this app is! When aviationweather.gov updated their website they some how left off the ability to animate the satellite imagery. This app allows you to very quickly and easily get a glimpse of what is going on as recent as 10 minutes ago. I have zero complaints: ) and only one wish. I would love to be able to adjust the animation speed a touch, but this app is brilliant!!! Many Thanks!

Thank you for such a useful app. Nice addition to my other weather apps. Good work!

NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite imagery is so refreshing to see. The constellation of geostationary Earth observation imagers is what is really happening now, not months ago as Google Earth sees fit to refresh theirs. I’m very happy to be able to see the latest snapshot as well as the recent history, shareable as GIFs. Different zones, mainly of the North American continent and surrounding ocean along with coverage of the major ocean routes for cyclonic activity are very welcome to see. A wish list would include infrared for cloud penetration and temperatures, CO2 content, etc.. Ultimately, in an integrated, easily navigable, zoom in view. I realize that this will require a good deal of optical topographical manipulation and downloads with real-time updating will be a major effort and sounds like a remake of Google Earth but the timeliness of this imagery and its lack of the overload of generating pretty yet over-processed old data will make it stand apart. Thank you for creating this. It doesn’t have to be a big money project to allow us all to see in one place us looking back at our world. This is something long overdue.
