Zoom Earth

Zoom Earth provides an interactive platform for tracking hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones in real-time, enhancing your ability to monitor these weather phenomena with precision. This tool is essential for staying informed and prepared during storm seasons.

Key Features

1. Satellite Imagery: Zoom Earth utilizes near real-time satellite imagery from sources like NOAA GOES, JMA Himawari, EUMETSAT Meteosat, and NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites to offer comprehensive views of weather patterns across the globe.

2. Rain Radar: With our advanced weather radar map, you can track rain and snow in real-time, thanks to data from ground-based doppler radar, helping you stay ahead of any approaching storms.

3. Weather Forecast Maps: Experience detailed and visually appealing global forecast maps that cover essential weather metrics such as precipitation, wind speed and gusts, temperature, "feels like" temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and atmospheric pressure.

4. Hurricane Tracking: Our state-of-the-art tropical tracking system allows you to follow the progression of hurricanes from their initial development to reaching category 5 status, using the most current data from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS).

5. Wildfire Tracking: Stay updated on wildfires with our active fires and heat spots overlay, which highlights areas of high temperature detected by satellite, updated daily through NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS).

6. Customization: Tailor your experience with settings that allow you to adjust temperature units, wind units, time zone, animation styles, and more, ensuring the tool meets your specific needs.
