Aerial Reconnaissance in the Eastern North Pacific & Central North Pacific Basins
East & Central Pacific recon in the last thirty minutes...
There has been no recent recon for
the products our site checks.
Satellite data does not currently automatically update in the Cesium display. You must refresh the page to update satellite imagery.
Our site runs on an older server and due to technical limitations can't directly connect using SSL to the National Hurricane Center's recon archive to download observations that our normal system misses. We download individual obs by checking product files on a NOAA FTP server. If obs are released more frequently than about every minute, which often happens when multiple planes from the same agency, in the same basin, are relaying obs, our site will miss some obs. To download these missed obs automatically, our site has a system that downloads all of the obs in the NHC's recon archive since the last time we checked for and downloaded data. We are currently downloading obs through
HurricaneCity's recon system, which runs as a backup to ours. If their site has an issue, our site may not be able to download missed obs automatically from the NHC's recon archive.
System Status: Updating every minute. (
summary)
15 product files are currently monitored in this basin.
