They forecast the cloud cover, transparency and astronomical seeing, parameters which are not forecast by civil or aviation forecasts. [1] They forecast hourly data, but are limited to forecasting at most 48 hours into the future. Each individual chart provides data for only a 9 mile radius, and so are essentially point forecasts.
The total solar eclipse is just days away and the cloud cover forecast is looking grim for some regions, but there’s still hope because not all cloudy skies are the same. Why a cloudy forecast ...
The Space Weather Prediction Center is one of the nine National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and provides real-time monitoring and forecasting of solar and geophysical events, conducts research in solar-terrestrial physics (i.e. heliophysics), and develops techniques for forecasting solar and geophysical disturbances.
Much of Texas, considered prime eclipse-viewing territory by many traveling there for the occasion, was predicted in forecast models on Friday to have cloud cover of 60%-80% on eclipse day.
Here's the latest cloud forecast from 12-5pm (higher % means more clouds)," read the post from the weather service. "Increasing clouds this afternoon; more clouds north and west of Philly and the ...
Ground track example from Heavens-Above.An observer in Sicily can see the International Space Station when it enters the circle at 9:26 p.m. The observer would see a bright object appear in the northwest, which would move across the sky to a point almost overhead, where it disappears from view, in the space of three minutes.
Cloud cover forecasts will also be important for locations outside the path of totality, given that at least 99% of the contiguous U.S. will get to experience at least a partial eclipse.
The ocean current and low level wind information gleaned from the space photos can help predict oceanic oil spill coverage and movement. Almost every summer, sand and dust from the Sahara Desert in Africa drifts across the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean. GOES-EAST photos enable meteorologists to observe, track and forecast this sand ...
