Ratings and reviews

Jet stream seems to be not working after update. Very useful app, better if jet stream included by

Beautiful display of huge amount of different data!!! What is desperately missing is the color-key for their interpretation. And Start/Stop button on the main screen. Updated 7/2022 - some data are unavailable (ssec infrared, ssec water vapor...) Still missing Setup and key-colour bar. 21-3-2023 - after today's update, doesn't work at all. All data gone...

Honestly it would be better if you could search locations on earth like zoom into earth and see buildings and stuff, but all you can do is zoom into the earth infinitly close. 4 star rating.

What’s new

Migration to WebGL, added zoom level, GFS model visualization and updates in datasets.
