Zoom Earth is a real-time interactive weather visualization platform that updates global satellite imagery every 10 minutes. Combining data feeds from geostationary satellites like NOAA GOES, JMA Himawari, and EUMETSAT Meteosat, it lets users watch tropical storms, hurricanes, wildfires, and atmospheric patterns evolve across the globe in high resolution.
Key Capabilities & Live Layers
- Live Satellite Imagery: Near real-time true-color and infrared Earth photography refreshed every 10 to 15 minutes.
- Hurricane & Storm Tracking: Real-time tracking of active tropical cyclones, wind speed projections, pressure metrics, and projected landfall paths.
- Severe Weather Overlays: Animated radar maps displaying rainfall, snowfall, wind gusts, temperature anomalies, and cloud cover.
- Historical Playback: High-definition atmospheric loop animations showing storm lifecycles and seasonal climate patterns over decades.
