CIMSS Tropical Cyclones
The Cooperative Institute of Meteorological Satellite Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center (CIMSS-SSEC) has created a huge set of weather related overlays that can be viewed in Google Earth.
Their program is focused on tropical cyclones, but they also have a large amount of satellite and other data covering at the regional and global levels. The data available in Google Earth includes:
- Storm tracking and forecast
- Recent satellite imagery
- Sea surface conditions
- Precipitation
- Maximum wind speeds
- Winds aloft analysis (wind shear, vorticity, etc.)
- Satellite animations
- Global Infrared and Water Vapor mosaics
