Satellite Animator

Open Alpha Stage

Welcome to the alpha satellite animator champion! This page allows you to pull the most recent forecast sallite data within the past 24hrs for GOES19.

WARNING

Satellite graphics have yet to be tuned! Generated graphics are raw and no cleansing of bad data is being performed. Graphics tuning will occur once the alpha stage of the animator is complete.

Setting Up Your Configuration

1. If in desktop mode, use the interface on the left hand side of the screen to make a request for data. In cell/tablet mode, tap the "Request" button at the top and fill the form out inside the modal that appears.
2. Once you are satisfied with your setup, click the "Save State" button. This will automatically recall your setup every time you come back to the site.

What Is A Virtual Screen?

"Virtual screens" in this animator act the same way virtual desktops work in any modern operating system. A "virtual screen" represents the entire area for holding graphics. Once you have made a successful submission, this welcome message will dissapear and this area becomes your virtual screen. A "virtual screen" can hold up to four sets of data. This means that you can setup up a total of 16 different sets of data across 4 virtual screens.

Additional Notes

Important: The "Save State" button will show up once you have made your first request for data!

Please be sure to read the disclaimer before using this site! Enjoy!
