HURSAT: Past Hurricane Satellite Imagery through Google Earth (kmz)
The purpose of the HURSAT project is to provide Tropical Cyclone-"centric" satellite data. The goal is to keep data small and portable. In doing so, HURSAT data are
gridded and stored using the netCDF file format.
All HURSAT imagery are now available for viewing in Google Earth. In addition to being a simple way to
view all tropical cyclone imagery, it also makes Basic Dvorak (BD) imagery available for analysis of tropical cyclone intensities using the Objective Dvorak Technique.
