Wetter Tools für Google Earth

Google Earth kann Informationen anderer Websites in Realtime verarbeiten (network link). Z.B. Wetterdaten: weather and storm tracking tools collection . Den Link einfach in die Places ziehen. Dann kann man verschiedene Layer einzeln anschalten.

Right now the collection includes: two global hurricane tracking tools, global cloud maps, current global lightning strikes animation (from GuiWeather.com, severe weather warning data and radar data from NOAA for the US, TopicWatch by Paul Seabury, a large collection of weather image overlays from TropicalAtlantic, weather observations for the US from WeatherBonk, a real-time day/night viewing tool, and the global annual lightning flash rate map from NASA. Turn on the Hurricanes – Live Positions link to see the latest storms around the world. You will see the storms‘ tracks, forecasted paths, current positions, and the red dots are nearby web cams. The position of the storms, when a hurricane, will show it’s storm strength (level 1, 2, etc.).

These tools were put together by a variety of people (some are weather professionals, others are weather hobbyists). But, these are the best. GEB will continue to add more storm and weather tools to the network link periodically, but if you save this network link, you will automatically see them added.

Here are more details about the weather tools in the collection:

• Hurricanes – Live positions
