Seriously someone needs to do a hurricane links website. Honestly I would if I had time to set it up right now. IF anyone takes a crack at it before me.... yippie... if not, it's on my projects one day i'll find enough time to get to in the next 10 years list.

Pebbles, the closest thing I have seen to that is the link that I posted above. I haven't been able to go to half of the links there yet and I found it two years ago :lol: . You should really browse around. It's not the prettiest site on the net, but the webmaster must not anything else to do.

Sliding OT just a sec..I notice your location lists New Bern as a former home. I live in Williamston (I'm assuming you know where that is). I just thought that was interesting.

Edit: I guess I should've said that site list links to resources, not really only sites (although it does give a few sites as base links).

Yes.. saw that link... and it's got tons of great stuff but was thinking something a little more organized and easier on the eyes.

As for New Bern... well NCBird (who is my Mom) still lives there and we will be coming down for a visit the last week of August (as long as nothing big is heading in.. which is kinda scary thought the way the tropics are going this season). Maybe there should be an east NC storm2k get together me thinks!!

Yeah, it's not the most user-friendly site on the web for sure. Tons of stuff, but the background alone will give you a headache. :lol:

As far as the S2K get-together goes, if mtm's Google Earth map in the "Lat/Lon" thread is any indication, it may be just us! Where are all the eastern NC folks? :D

Bumping this up as some people may need these...

Shouldn't this thread be a sticky?

*BUMP*

I had to really search for this, after these storms this thread went down fast. Again, I really think this should be a sticky, as the Talkin' Tropics forum is always active.

Two more sites:

Ramsdis Satellite Imagery

Eastern Atlantic Satellite Imagery

Most I use have already been posted, but here's a few that were missing (in no particular order):


Nice model maps tool at Plymouth State: http://vortex.plymouth.edu/grbcalc2.html

NCEP Operational models: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/

NCEP Ensemble products: http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/map/images/ens/ens.html

Upper air soundings: http://weather.unisys.com/upper_air/skew/index.html
(see the "other pages" links for plots of latest measurements)

AMSU data: http://amsu.cira.colostate.edu/

TCHP: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/cyclone/data/

MJO: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_mjo_index/mjo_index.html

Australian ENSO wrapup: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/

Pacific equatorial temps: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ocean/anim/wkxzteq.html


I'm sure I'm missing some good ones, but that's what jumps out at me as not being posted yet.
