Worldwide Tropical Update Website!

Perfectly timed with the message board’s new look, the S2K Worldwide Tropical Update page has a new look as well!

Check it out—even during the Atlantic off-season, this site is packed full of useful data for other basins around the world.

There are even individual, basin-specific pages with charts and data such as: shear maps, SSTs graphics, satellite imagery, and more.

As well, the main page shows official RSMC forecasts and advisories as well as JTWC bulletins. Plus, there are zoomed in satellite imagery for each active storm.

Are you in need of the next name to be used in a given storm basin? Check out the names page. Grayed names indicate used names from previous years while red-colored names indicate names already used this year.

Of course, the most-visited page is back: Atlantic Recon. This page displays the latest recon obs, plan of the day, vortex message, and more all on one page. ...and how many times during the heat of a recon mission have you pounded on that refresh key?? No problem here. This page automatically refreshes so the latest information is present! Included on this page is a link for the official RSMC active storm tracks to be displayed on Google Earth. Coming soon will be an Excel spreadsheet for decoding recon as well!

While you are waiting for the latest recon obs, check out the buoy page. Links are available to all of the NBDC buoys in the Atlantic.

Also, coming in the near future, are a couple new pages. First is the tropical cyclone reports page. Listed are quick links to every Atlantic storm’s official tropical cyclone report from 1995 to the present. In addition to the links, listed are the maximum winds, minimum pressure, US damage, and causalities from each storm. There is even a link to access older storms from before 1995.

Second is the worldwide bulletins page. This page has a listing of all sorts (hundreds) of tropical weather bulletins from numerous meteorological centers throughout the world.

Now here comes the cool part—do you have any ideas for what the S2K Worldwide Tropical Update should have? Pass along your ideas! That is what makes S2K great—the member’s input.

I just realized I must have uploaded the old recon page. :cheesy:

Sometime tomorrow (16th) I'll attempt to load the new page.

The worldwide bulletin page isn't uploaded either but I'm sure you know that.

Not that I'm trying to look for faults but shouldn't that be the SW Pacific rather than South Pacific? :lol:

Actually, I realized I had uploaded the proper recon page. I just was experiencing cashe issues. :wink:

As for both the worldwide bulletins and the reports pages, I haven't uploaded either yet simply because I'm still working on them. As soon as they are finished and uploaded, I'll make a comment here.

Finally, as for SW Pacific versus S Pacific, I'm using the term "south" so I can include the rare SE Pacific storm. That also goes for the Atlantic where I don't use the descriptor "north".

IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LONG IS THE 2005 LIST. YOU CAN EVEN ADD UP TO 2 SEASONS TO GET THE 2005 TOTALS. AMAZING WHAT WE HAD TO GO THROUGH!!

Fair enough, I tend to specify N Atlantic as well as SW Pacific.

How many SE Pacific storms have there been? (I wasn't aware there had been any)

That report page looks good, nice work.

Not that many--I don't know the exact number off hand, but they are usually tied to El Nino events.
