Checkmark box will be UNchecked. Checkmark it once, it turns off again. Checkmark it a 2nd time and it stays on.

I like to monitor:

* Orange "traffic cone"-looking placemarks are worldwide ocean buoys (Google it --- and YES, these are your USA taxpayer dollars at work; for the citizens of all countries).
* Red, orange & yellow "dots" are the past week's earthquakes sorted by intensity.
* White is real-time visible cloud cover.
* Green is real-time rain/precipitation.
* Jagged colored lines are tectonic plates and plate velocity & direction are indicated

David K, you must love my maps. :tumble: :yes: ;D

alright I admit I dont get it. im color blind so forget the big dots. from the eye of the storm what are all the little lines and dots traveling upward?

About a zillion possible storm tracks

Bryan, you do the best hurricane track maps... looks like 3-D. Thank you amigo... Now that you are on the east coast's peninsula that dips into the tropics, you will have hurricanes of your own!

The dots are tracks in a specific POTENTIAL storm track based on ONE specific mathematical model.

Numerous mathematical models are combined into the KMZ file, each from a different scientific organization.

seems to be some disagreement :?:how do you know which one is the most likely?

Ahhhhhhhh, you don't. That's why a weatherperson can be wrong 100% of the time and still have a job :lol:

Golly, BajaGuy, you took the words right out of my keyboard.
He's right you know. All tracks (and forecast data points) come from legitimate weather forecast models.

Tropical Depression (TD) Kristy / forecast tracks go schizophrenic

Tropical Depression (TD) Kristy goes schizophrenic ... this is a different view

I'm still trying to get my head around ZULU hours; I know, it's GMT time

Tropical storm (TS) Lane can be seen off on the southwesterly horizon.

Just when I thought I had it figured out you turned the world upside down,
I had to turn my screen over, now I am almost as confused as the guy who wants to know which track it will take
:bounce::bounce::bounce:

willardguy - 9-16-2012 at 04:17 PM

well do you think someone keeps track of whose models are more likely to be accurate?

bryanmckenzie - 9-24-2012 at 06:35 PM

That's the fun part of 3-D. And Google Earth. Stay tuned for Hurricane Miriam. I'm doing that one completely differently. :spingrin:
