ERAU

ERAU Satellite Imagery website. This website provides access to real-time satellite imagery from a variety of sources, including GOES, Meteosat, and Himawari. The imagery can be used to view weather patterns, track storms, and monitor environmental conditions.

The website allows you to select the region of interest, the data source, and the image type. The image types available include:

  • Day / Night Visible: This image shows the Earth’s surface in visible light.
  • Visible (Band 2): This image shows the Earth’s surface in a specific wavelength of visible light.
  • Infrared (Band 13): This image shows the Earth’s surface in infrared light.
  • Water Vapor (Band 9): This image shows the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
  • Water Vapor (3 channels): This image shows the water vapor in the atmosphere in three different wavelengths.
  • Smoke: This image shows the presence of smoke in the atmosphere.
  • Vis 3-D: This is a three-dimensional view of the Earth’s surface in visible light.
  • Wiggle 3-D: This is a three-dimensional view of the Earth’s surface in infrared light.

You can also view animations of the imagery. The animations can be used to track the movement of weather systems or to monitor changes in environmental conditions over time.

The ERAU Satellite Imagery website is a valuable resource for weather forecasting, storm tracking, and environmental monitoring. It is a free resource that is available to everyone.

Here are some specific examples of how the ERAU Satellite Imagery website can be used:

  • A meteorologist can use the website to view the latest satellite imagery of a developing storm system. This information can be used to forecast the path and intensity of the storm.
  • A pilot can use the website to view the latest satellite imagery of the area they are planning to fly in. This information can be used to identify potential hazards, such as thunderstorms or fog.
  • A environmental scientist can use the website to monitor changes in the Earth’s atmosphere, such as the amount of water vapor or the presence of smoke. This information can be used to study climate change or to track the spread of pollution.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
