Each week Lindstrom\u2019s blog posts explore atmospheric and weather phenomena through satellite imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like to tell stories about weather on the CIMSS Satellite Blog and that requires timely and visually arresting imagery,\u201d says Lindstrom. \u201cCSPP Geosphere provides that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Lindstrom, features such as the ability download loops as MP4 videos are key to illustrating and <a href=\"https:\/\/cimss.ssec.wisc.edu\/satellite-blog\/archives\/48247\">explaining the atmospheric forces<\/a> at play\u2014while making the content more accessible across the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"798\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1402 \/ 798;\" width=\"1402\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2022\/11\/goeswest_abi_radf_true_color_night_s20221006231031_e20221007054031_f40-1.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>GOES-West True Color Imagery (daytime) and Night Microphysics RGB (Night time), 2310 UTC on 6 October through 0540 UTC on 7 October 2022 (10-minute time steps)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing able to save animations as MP4 files is huge because other websites don\u2019t have this ability,\u201d says Lindstrom. \u201cThese videos are a lot easier to share on Twitter than an animated gif.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception, CSPP Geosphere has supported imagery from the GOES-East weather satellite, but has been expanded to include GOES-West, which provides coverage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
