NCRS Imagery...Yet Another Tool

#1 Postby MWatkins » Mon Jun 14, 2004 11:42 pm

Hey...check out this new tool available on everyone's favorite Quikscat site:

http://manati.wwb.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/qscat_storm.pl

Basically...this is the scatterometer's view of ocean surface roughness...which could turn out to be a VERY helpfull tool at all stages of TC development. A better explaination can be found here:

Yet another tool to go along with SSM/I and Quikscat imagery.

Those storm-specific pages have been around for about 4 years, they're not new; never really bothered with them because they update a bit more slowly than the main QS page.

Interestingly if you click on "scatterometer" from the FNMOC "alternate" NRL site you get a totally different set of QS pages.
