Very nice. Is there any way you can add more data feeds into the selection? Just curious.

Absolutely, just let me know what you are looking for and I'll definitely look into integrating it. I was looking at wind shear and vorticity overlays yesterday, but wasn't sure how many people may be interested in that. I don't want to add unneccessary things that just clutter up the display and network link, but I DO want things that are helpful in providing one-stop shopping for the tropical watchdogs.

Thanks Paul! I am interested in the wind shear/wind shear tendancy maps. You can take a look here at alot of cool stuff to integrate....

Yes, those are the exact images I was testing out yesterday from http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu . Not the best resolution, but as long as they aren't floaters, then we can use them. I'd also really like to lose the lat/lon lines in the images to make it look cleaner, but that's all I've found so far. I've got some stuff to do today outside the house, so I may not get to it until tonight or tomorrow, but keep an eye out for the next interation of the link.
Also, sorry if some of you had problems with the link and/or images last night through this morning. I was running the debug version of my program that builds the images and kml which wasn't the latest build. I had only rebuilt the release version with the latest changes. Anyway, it should be popping out the latest stuff now. I'll keep you posted.

Updating fine here, Paul. Now, we need to find a way to integrate NHC watches/warnings into the program the way you have done with the models. Also when we get storms, a forecast cone would be SWEET! Heck, you could take out lots of other software with some additions like this! Keep up the good work.

Hi Paul,
Where is the latest placemark? Is it still in the first post?
TIA,
Chris

Yessir....the network link in the original post will always get the latest stuff. I'm about to add some more imagery, and fix the problem where not all storms are included (read thread for details on this problem). If your GE Client complains about this network link, the reason is because I'm working on it. Please bear with me.

Ok, I've added some satellite views (IR, Enhanced IR, and Water Vapor) to the link. I've also changed the fetch logic in my program to do more than naively check the 00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and 18Z reports from NHC. It will check the latest 5 reports, and add all unique Atlantic storms from those reports (hopefully). I've had very little time to debug it, so I may run into a report that gives me a problem. Probably an empty one will do that......we'll have to see. Let me know if anyone has problems. I'll add the analyses imagery as soon as I have the time (wind shear, vorticity, etc).

Added a legend for Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Also set default refreshVisibility for the link to off....that means that it should remember which layers you had turned on or off even when it refreshes. I think you need to re-download the link from the first post in this thread for that last change to take effect. Enjoy.
[EDIT] - Yes, please delete your old link and download the new one from the first post in this thread. Usually changes won't require this, but I actually changed some attributes/elements of the network link, so it is necessary.
I've also added the small portion of SST coverage near Long Island that was missing before. In addition to that, I put some various analyses into the link like wind shear, convergence, divergence, vorticity, etc. that many of you were asking for. I think it's pretty useful now. As always, tell me what else you want/need and I'll do my best to add it.
Paul
