The NOAA map is confusing, the webpage is titled "30 minute forecast" but it is not a forecast, nor is it 30 minutes. It shows 24 hours of history.

- defrost 3y agoIt's 24 hours of past 30 minute forecasts + one additional 30 miniute forcast (into "the future") eg: Data collected at the L1 point at 2024-03-25 02:51 (UTC) is transmitted to earth, feed into the NOAA model which creates AT 2024-03-25 03:00 (UTC) (nine minutes after the L1 observations) a forecast for 2024-03-25 03:31 (UTC) (31 minutes after "present time" when model run using data observed nine minutes earlier)
- dheera 3y agoOh. I wish they had a "forecast vs. actual" for the past 24 hours.
