Satellite view misleading Looking at a
satellite image hourly
was no help to judge how fast the system would move through. Until
recently one had to find a site that was providing the direction of ‘jetstream’; problem is
these sites are updated only couple times a day. Now there
are numerous pages that will play animated images; by looking at last 6 hours
one easily sees direction system moving towards – in this case it was
paralleling the coast (off California) then turning inland over BC |

Where system is going |

One “image”
from a hemispheric animated GIF sequence . The ‘banana express’
brings warm moist air from central pacific to BC in Winter. The animation
gives good idea how quickly it zooms here. A global
view animation gives intuitive idea how all these 'weather systems' must be ‘connected’ (by jet streams?/ low pressure areas?) |
Satellite + wave analysis arrow right points QCIs
By the afternoon
waves already subsiding
(This is a great
site, but difficult to figure out;
images are updated about 8 times a day; check live page for latest)
