Weather Software

• GRLevel Analyst - The best program since sliced bread!  An advanced Nexrad Level II analysis application. It features a high quality volumetric display and several high resolution reflectivity-derived graphical products in addition to the standard Level II data products.
• GRLevel 2 - a Windows viewer for live and archived NEXRAD Level II data. Base reflectivity, base velocity, storm relative velocity, and spectrum width sweeps for all radar tilts are available. High speed zooming and panning allows you to quickly focus in on the area of interest.
• GRLevel 3 - GRLevel3 is a Windows viewer for live NEXRAD Level III data.
• Global Track v7 - a hurricane tracking program that tracks tropical systems world wide.
• WxSat - decodes the signals in the APT format from NOAA, Meteor, Okean, Resurs, Meteosat and GOES Satellites with a Soundcard.
• SatScape - Freeware Program for the PC. There are about 8000+ satellites in orbit, alot of these are just junk and debris such as discarded rocket bodies, but quite a few are working Satellites.
• BUFKIT - a forecast profile visualization and analysis tool kit developed by the staff at the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Buffalo and the Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB) in Norman, OK.
• VCP Explorer - The VCPExplorer is a tool to aid in visualizing radar beam paths with respect to the surrounding terrain and the uncertainties in echo height measurements. Every WSR-88D and TDWR is available for viewing in the United States and its territories.
• WES - The Weather Event Simulator is an application developed by the staff at the Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB) to enable the AWIPS software used in NWS WFOs to view data from previous weather events in training simulations.
• Hunter/Gatherer - Hunter/Gatherer is a tool to download and display web cam images. Hunter is a Tcl/TK script that downloads images. Gatherer is a Visual Basic program to efficiently view and loop large quantities of images.
• Image Gallery - Image Gallery is a PHP based web program made to view and loop web cam images. This program is used by the NWS WFOs in Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage. Hunter can help download images for the Image Gallery to use.
• Radar Beam Characteristic Calculator - The Radar Beam Characteristic Calculator is a web application that uses a beam's elevation angle and a targets distance from the radar to calculate beam traits such as beam height, beamwidth, etc., using the standard radar beam propagation equation.
