Any comments or feedback welcome. Ultimately (if Paul is still up for it), we'll probably integrate this sub-set with the main Storm Tracking set that Paul's kindly provided. It may take us a while to get it right (and thus, this KMZ/Network Link is very much a beta-test). As such, it may disappear overnight, or be altered or cut-down dramatically in the next few days (depending on how stupid the bandwidth numbers turn out to be, or whether we get told to quit it, by NOAA!) Therefore, please bear with us, and use commonsense when playing with this tool. Thanks.

The KMZ of the whole network link was usually around 4-5KB (pretty small !), but I ended up using over 8GB and almost 9GB this last month. I think part of this was due to people setting refresh rates to small intervals and/or forcefully updating it hoping that something had changed. Unfortunately, we can't alter the behavior of the users to not do this ( can we? ) , but I/we'd ask that you not do this as it could mean the difference between having this tool and not if the costs become prohibitive.

I'll get back to you in a bit.

Paul
