BACKGROUND
This web page provides near real-time imagery for Oklahoma and
surrounding areas. The background images linked in table below are from
the visible and infrared
channels of the NOAA geostationary satellite GOES-16 (eastern
satellite). The apparent offset of
clouds from their true location above the ground, parallax, has been addressed: a parallax correction has been applied to
the images using the cloud top temperature from band 13 (10.3 microns) and
a standard atmosphere temperature profile. The
images are updated at 30 minutes intervals.
The HTML5 Imager AnimationS webapp (HAniS) used for interactive animations were
developed
by Tom Whittaker of the Space Science and Engineering Center SSEC,
University of Wisconsin-Madison. This requires your browser to support HTML5 for the animations to work.
