Radarmatic: a weather radar visualizer and API
- eof 16y agoThat's awesome, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe it's just getting hit.. or it's the clearest day in recent history for the whole USA
- eof 16y agoActually, now that I zoomed close enough to a station I am getting some information. Not sure what '10' precipitation in the air actually means, but it's right over my head!
- jstn 16y agowikipedia has a nice explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBZ_(meteorology) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBZ_(meteorology)
- georgecmu 16y agoInteresting, but it seems to duplicate Weather Underground's wundermap that's been available for a few years now: http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/ http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/ Wundermap also displays data from personal weather stations, storm tracks, sattelite imagery, etc.
- cameldrv 16y agoOk, but inferior to weather.com. I don't care what radar the information is coming from, and I don't want to see ground clutter. Weather.com merges all sites, removes ground clutter, and adds satellite overlays. Also, when I see a loop, I usually want to see a longer timescale, like the last few hours, instead of a few minutes. Most people are interested in seeing a few hours because you can tell whether cells are building, what direction the cells are going, and what direction the system is going. This is all very hard to tell with individual sites and short timescales.
- jstn 16y agothe animation shows the last 36 images, which should amount to a few hours.
