Synthetic Satellite Picture Forecast Loops.

This Page last updated on 4 July 2010.

You need a browser capable of interpreting javascript (i.e. Netscape > 3.0 or I.E. > 3.0) to view the loops on this page. Otherwise you can use the static option.


These products are derived from the Bureau of Meteorology's ACCESS-based Numerical Weather Prediction models. They represent the satellite image that would be seen by geostationary satellites. Comparisons of current forecasts with concurrent satellite images coming soon
(Incomplete) Documentation on the calculation of synthetic infra red imagery is available here.
