Observational Data
- GOES Project Science provides real-time, full-resolution, calibrated and navigated GOES images. Maintains archive of all images for up to nine days. Note IR3 is water vapor, and IR4 is "traditional" infrared.
- Unisys Weather provides a complete source of graphical weather information, adequate for the weather professional but can useful for the casual user as well. The graphics and data are displayed as a meteorologist would expect to see; but, there are detailed explanation pages to guide the layman through the various plots, charts and images.
- The University of Washington Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences stores several days worth of full disk GOES imagery; this page provides links to other observational and climatological data and model forecasts, naturally with an emphasis on the Pacific Northwest, but covering all of CONUS as well. They also have an image archive covering the last few days.
A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.
