Leave a Review GOES Viewer
So glad I found this vs the terrible noaa app
I’m not sure that’s ones even available now but it felt like from 2005 lol. Anyway, this is perfect, easy, zooms well, animation is actually accurate and smooth and it’s very hires. A win!Melodicly
Exactly what I wanted
Made accessing GOES images super easy. Would be cool to access image history as well.
Developer: have you approached NOAA to solicit funding for further development? Or maybe sell the app to them for them to develop further?celery beetle
Thank you for this beautiful app Emery!!!
As a professional weather nerd I had to comment on how elegant this app is! When aviationweather.gov updated their website they some how left off the ability to animate the satellite imagery. This app allows you to very quickly and easily get a glimpse of what is going on as recent as 10 minutes ago. I have zero complaints: ) and only one wish. I would love to be able to adjust the animation speed a touch, but this app is brilliant!!!
Many Thanks!Show lessB_Man420
Great images
Thank you for such a useful app. Nice addition to my other weather apps. Good work!itouch777
A peak at what’s available in near real-time imagery
NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite imagery is so refreshing to see. The constellation of geostationary Earth observation imagers is what is really happening now, not months ago as Google Earth sees fit to refresh theirs.
I’m very happy to be able to see the latest snapshot as well as the recent history, shareable as GIFs. Different zones, mainly of the North American continent and surrounding ocean along with coverage of the major ocean routes for cyclonic activity are very welcome to see.
A wish list would include infrared for cloud penetration and temperatures, CO2 content, etc.. Ultimately, in an integrated, easily navigable, zoom in view. I realize that this will require a good deal of optical topographical manipulation and downloads with real-time updating will be a major effort and sounds like a remake of Google Earth but the timeliness of this imagery and its lack of the overload of generating pretty yet over-processed old data will make it stand apart.
Thank you for creating this. It doesn’t have to be a big money project to allow us all to see in one place us looking back at our world. This is something long overdue.Show lessowndao
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the feedback. This is one of my first published apps so it's super great to get your input! I was planning to add the other bands in as well and in this latest update I included most of the other bands that NOAA provides. Hopefully these other bands/views help with identifying weather and other patterns more easily. Right now, you can pinch to zoom into the imagery, but I could also see the value in an ortho-rectified view where the imagery is actually shown on a map. This is possible and I might implement it in the future. I mainly just wanted a quick and easy way to look at and share the imagery NOAA provides and I'm so glad to hear that you appreciate what I've built! Thank you again and I hope you enjoy the new updates!
