Old satellite loops...

[Anonymous]

I don't know who remembers, but back in October or so, I started a project called HRP or the "HURRICANE REPLENISHING PROJECT" which refreshs and replenishes old hurricane images.

The site for that is still: http://www.freewebs.com/hurricanereplenishingproject/

However, I have expanded to CREATING LOOPS of Past Storms and Hurricanes. For example, a loop of 1969's Hurricane Camille:::

Now, even though the loop is jumpy, you can clearly see the expansion of
Camille, and the strengthening to a Category 5 near the end of the loop. It also appears that the eastern semicircle is enhanced.

Other loops can be found at this link, and it will be updated more to come:::

Comments welcome.

Thanks. A Camille loop....amazing. Say...if their are atleast three images of a past storm I can make into a loop, don't hesitate to ask.

To you Floyd,first,thank's for these rare views of past storms.
Have you ever seen views of INEZ of 1966?(i'have got one just over my island of Guadeloupe,but it was on a french meteorological review,and i had to research it)And view of Cleo1964 in her born stage(i remember some think like this on the net,but i'am not sure it was not a graphic...
Again thank's for your research..

I have a pic of Hurricane Inez in the Gulf of Mexico.

Also, I found a satellite pic of Hurricane Hilda from 1964!

Can you please post the links?

[HurricaneBill]

Can you please post the links?

Well, Hilda is on a pdf file.

However, here's the link for Hurricane Inez.

I can get the PDF...but I need a link to do so... if there are enough, I can either replenish the image or make a loop.

Thank goodness the satellite images have improved as much as they have... Some of these old past images or horrible... lol.. Can you imagin the first time they saw one in a sat. photo.. lol..

I have seen a couple from Camille in 1969 and the resolution is absolutely terrible.

Yes, but it's truly amazing how far they have advanced in such a relatively brief time. A little historical perspective: In July 1961...Two months after the first manned American spaceflight was launched (and a mere 3 months before I was! ) , the Great-granddaddy of today's weather surveillance satellites, TIROS III was launched and during its 230 days in orbit, photgraphed the first five '61 Atlantic hurricanes: Anna, Betsy, Carla (the infamous Texas landfaller), Debbie, and Esther from an altitude of 400 miles. Esther (next photo) is notable as she was the first hurricane to be discovered at sea via satellite.

I had made a Camille satellite loop for a talk last year. It is a little less jumpy than the earlier loop, and I included a pause on the last frame:

Believe it or not, I was flipping through a book on Florida hurricanes and found a satellite image of Hurricane Donna in 1960. Considering weather satellites were only a few months old, it was a rather good pic.

I copied it and scanned it. I'll see if I can find a way to post it.

Anybody remember the hurricane special the Weather Channel did called "Danger's Edge" back in early 1992?

I had a copy on VHS and remember there being a satellite loop of Hurricane Camille moving through the Gulf and making landfall on the Gulf Coast.

[Hyperstorm]

Great loops! I have a satellite picture most of you have probably never seen before of Hurricane Camille in the Gulf of Mexico. I'll look for it and will try to post it.

[Hyperstorm]

Actually, some of you have probably seen it since it's basically an extension to the loop that wxman posted. It's a satellite picture 2 hours older than the last one in the loop. Here's the link (it's a LARGE picture):

Here's also 2 other satellite pictures which you can play with and add to your loop:
