Makes it possible to see the relationship between global weather patterns and the weather that we experience. The Weather Map Display System. Each computer downloads 3-6 weather maps every hour. Maps are displayed continuously with a display time of about 10 seconds each. This map is composed of remotely sensed images of infrared thermal energy emitted by clouds in the atmosphere.
Radar is reflected by precipitation.
Higher amounts of reflectance are indicated with darker colors. This book describes how to download a series of these maps to a dedicated computer and display them in a continuous loop. The specific images that are downloaded can be changed by simply inserting another web address. The system can also display a series of webcam images. Once the maps or webcam images are downloaded, they are shown in a continuous loop using the full screen of your Macintosh display.
