Ground Station Type
Automatic Ground Stations are local, semi-permanent stations that record and upload satellite transmissions automatically once per day. Manual ground stations are DIY and often mobile; operators manually record and upload satellite transmissions.
Satellite
The archive contains Automatic Picture Transmissions (APT) by US weather satellites NOAA-15, NOAA-18 and NOAA-19.
Nowcasts
Collective earth-sensing events led by open-weather, co-produced by a network of contributors around the world.

Cable problems mean even the slightest breeze generates noise in the image - but this does result in the rather pleasing fact that the weather itself affects the image generated. You can see when significant breezes come in as striations over the image.

A very noisy sounding, but fortunately free of the audio cut-outs that have beset many recent efforts. A chance also to see the image 'click' across the night time threshold.

It has been over 3 months since the start of the Palisades Fire. I did a satellite capture less than an hour before the beginning of the fire on January 7th. I thought I would return to that location to do another capture. Road closures forced me to change plans. As the satellite was about to rise above the horizon, I found myself in the middle of the residential burn zone of the Palisades. With few trees standing, and even fewer homes, the skyline was favorable for a clear view of the sky. I found a convenient wall from a burned property to place my laptop. Several cars slowed during the pass giving me suspicious looks. Who is this man with an antenna in the middle of all the destruction? One car lingered for several minutes - I feel I was being filmed. Meanwhile, we live in the chaos of tarrifs, the deportation of students with political views, the defunding of universities and the promise to increase domestic energy (fossil fuel) production. Later that day I attended a press conference at City Hall promoting the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025. The odds are long, but the effort is important.

Today's sounding was mainly a test run, with noise and audio cutouts (the dark striations) proving a persistent issue - although the image was better than expected. Suspect these artefacts are a quirk of the new laptop I have been using, as previous devices (now sadly defunct) were fine. Once again, a reminder of the intricate chain of systems that all need to align in order for a recording to be gathered and processed.
