Hurricane Kristy Forecast Storm Tracks
14 Sept 2012, 13:00 hrs
Google Earth KMZ (dynamic link) file may be downloaded here (also Atlantic basin) ... http://www.tropicalatlantic.com/models/data.cgi
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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