Who needs floaters when you have the NASA GHCC loops?

http://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES

I pretty much never look at the SSD loops unless I want to use the overlays. The GHCC images, when zoomed in with 100% quality, are both better image quality and better temporal resolution than just about anything else available on the web.

k Kthanx...I just like the close up pictures.

You do realize you can get closeups with those images? Just click anywhere in the outer images to zoom in 3 levels of zoom. Apologies if you already know about this.

They will probably add a low back in on the 205 TWD. There seems to be some good low level turning going on under those mid level clouds.

ahh okay cool. didn't know that thanx!! I'm so use to using floaters and the weather.com satellites, that I've never used these before.

Like other systems this year the magical line is latitude 50W to 55W, and this is evident now by the blow up of storms in that general area. I believe that this system will gradually become better organized and once it hits this area than we will see a big blow-up. Also, this has a better chance of development than TD 4 and it will likely become a more powerful storm given that a big high is forecast to build over the SW Atlantic later in the period.

New GFS has the system in the NW Caribbean in seven days.. with a threat to the SE USA thereafter beyond 10 days.. (for what it is worth)...

No problem, just make sure you pick 100% for the quality. It looks pretty ugly at the default 55%. Also, the first area that covers N. America has the best resolution at the highest zoom, and often kick in to rapid scan mode.

While the most intense convection is the linear band between about 9N-13N and 47-57W, it appears to be along a low level speed surge, which is enhancing convergence. The best sense of mid level cyclonic turning, as pointed out earlier in this thread, is back behind this area, near 9-10N and 44-45W. MHO is that is the place to watch for any TC development.

Nevertheless, it appears some nasty squalls are headed for the southern Windwards, T&T, the Venezuelan north coast, and eventually, the ABC islands, associated with that speed surge.

Oh yes, despite thinking convection was looking poorly this morning on satellite, I've never doubted there is a wave turning at this location. But I was wondering what was going on further west. Thanks for explaining about the speed surge!!

Canadian picks up on this feature nicely and shows a significant TC in the BOC in 6 days

I could buy into that solution if it did not develop until then, otherwise I think it develops before then and winds up further north.

it should be an invest

And why did you just post a picture of TD#4? This is the thread for the wave in the central Atlantic.

[SouthFloridawx]

And why did you just post a picture of TD#4?

Obviously he posted it in the wrong thread.

[LAwxrgal]

Trugunzn, that's 4L, TD4. You must've grabbed the wrong pic by mistake.

[bob rulz]

And why did you just post a picture of TD#4?

Obviously he posted it in the wrong thread.

I know...just thought I'd inform him.

[Trugunzn]

My bad, thought i was in the td4 thread

[bvigal]

PM him, he can delete it

I totally agree. I think most people just don't know about the GHCC, that's why they look at the SSD. I only look at the SSD when 1) I want to see an overlay and 2) I want to auto-update...so when I go to bed I can open my laptop up in the middle of the night (when a system is out there I am watching) and see the very latest...instead of refreshing.

But...when it comes to trying to truly see what is going on...GHCC is the way to go for the average weather buff who only has public access. It has a lot better zoom capability and updates anywhere b/w 2x more often to 6x more often...depending on the mode they have it in (when you are in the 1KM field).

Why would you not want this?

Or this?

I can always tell when someone is trying to close off a circulation by using the SSD.

Edit: I also use the SSD to get my channel 2 imagery. Too bad GHCC hasn't added that.

[jhamps10]

is it just me, or am I seeing a small circulation area on vis shot at 46W 9 or 10 N?

Can I please get a confirmation on this?

Many also don't realize to zoom in, you need to move your cursor/mouse over the area you want to see and then click. Quite a few from past questions, hit animate and complain that the map looks the same.
