Satellite Weather Imagery Links

This page provides satellite weather imagery resources related to the remote sensing of active weather systems and educational resources for teachers. While not a comprehensive listing, it does provide paths to some of the better weather imagery sites on the internet. Many of the sources provide real time satellite views of the earth.

Our Favorite Satellite Weather Picture Sites

NASA Global Hydrology and Climate Center
Our weather satellite data page, where we allow the user to interactively zoom and animate weather satellite imagery from multiple geostationary satellites from around the world.
NWS interactive weather information network a really great site for up to date weather watches and warnings and live feeds.
GOES project science
GOES data server's on the Internet
SSEC - real-time data and satellite images
World Meteorological Organization
NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory
NOAA Operational Significant Event Imagery

Other Weather Satellite Links:
