Tropical Links

[MWatkins]

I'm working to create a quick-link page which has tons of stuff that I use all the time so I don't have to click around 700 screens to find what I'm looking for. Here's what I have so far...let me know if this works for you (semd me an email or here) and if there are any changes you'd like to make.

Please also let me know if you'd like to add any cool links to the page.

I'll be adding tons to as I get around to it...

Thanks Mike for all those links that will be very helpful for the members when things get hot in the atlantic tropics.

I notice the method you're using for the drop-down menus on the models (VBScript) doesn't work with Netscape 7.x. Hitting the "Go" button does nothing. There's an easy javascript drop-down code that works in both browsers.

One of my favorite links is the Hurricane Research Division storms page:

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/data_sub/wind.html

You can get pretty close to real-time wind field analyses on current storms.

I noticed that your links to a visible and IR Gulf of Mexico satellite are reversed. But I have a link with some MUCH MUCH Better GOM shots, take a gander at these from TNRCC!

First, here's their main web site:

And let's not forget the MODIS image site. Not real time, but the best next day images around:

And let's not forget the best Meteosat site around, Dundee:

You need to register to view the images, but it's free!

The NASA site has some good imagery, too:

Aw dang it...I tested on IE but not netscape which means I need to recode the whole thing. 20% of my traffic on average comes from Netscape users. I don't know any Java so I'll need to look up some canned code...completely didn't even think that VB doesn't work in Netscape.

I'll have it done by tomorrow night....
