- Does anyone here know any site that has gifs and images of tropical cyclones from 1979 until today? -

On wikimedia commons I find few images in various tropical cyclones links. Some places only show 2 images: a near or peak intensity image and the route of the system (Ex. Hagibis 2002: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ca ... ibis_(2002) ). and I wanted to know more about various systems, but some sites that suggest to me never open (Ex. IbTracs).

If anyone here knows of any, please post them here. I would be so grateful. :jump:

There's a few that I've found both here and elsewhere over the last few years:

Modified Dvorak scheme (colorized), can easily make gifs from the images from 1978 onward
http://www.atms.unca.edu/ibtracs/ibtracs_v04r00/index.php?name=browse-year-basin

Hi-res visible and IR from 1997 onward
https://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tcdat/

HTML5 IR and storm-centered VIS loops from 2006 onward
https://rammb-data.cira.colostate.edu/tc_realtime/season.asp?storm_season=2021

Lesser Antilles-specific loops of storms that have affected the area (linked by another member a few months ago)
http://atlas.amicale-des-ouragans.org/index.php?page=cyclones

1978+ Youtube videos from Lake Charles NWS, focuses specifically on storms affecting the US (in progress, several aren't up yet, also contains radar)

HURSAT is a great site for imagery, though not very user-friendly
