NRL Tropical Cyclone Web Page
Purpose:
• Provide unique “storm following” satellite products in near
real-time using multi-sensors (15+) for all active TCs
worldwide via the web,
• Unique “microwave” product suite,
• Vis/IR/water vapor imagery,
• Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting (ATCF) graphics,
• Create living “online” archive with simple interface.
