StormPulse Mashup offers One Stop Access To Tropical Storm and Hurricane Data  E-mail
Written by Glenn Letham (GISuser editor)   
26 April 2007
GISuser Reader Matthew contacted us about a very clever resource that he's developed - StormPulse. Users of the NHC Tropical Prediction Center will love and appreciate this amazing mashup!  Users can map a storm track, access information about a storm from NOAA, read about the storm's lifecycle, grab info from Wikipedia, view photos posted to flickr that reference the hurricane, access satellite imagery and much more - as an example see details of Hurricane Alberto, 2006 - this is a fantastic mashup and I can't wait to see more from it!

From the get-go of entering the site the user is presented with a wealth of tropical storm related information including:

  • a summary of last year's storm season
  • impressive satellite imagery from NASA
  • storm tracks
  • information from Wikipedia
  • links to weather charts
  • weather related news links from major media outlets
  • data from coastal and inland weather stations
  • data from buoys
  • weather related photos pulled from flickr
  • Satellite imagery from GOESS and MET8 (water vapor, infrared, rgb, visible, and more)

A tip... You can view hurricanes and hurricane seasons dating back to 1851 by entering in a URL such as: http://www.stormpulse.com/hugo, or http://www.stormpulse.com/1944.

By clicking the familiar forward/rewind radio buttons the user can move through time and see the track of a hurricane along with the changing satellite imagery

http://www.stormpulse.com/

This is not an official weather resource, however, it is an amazing example of how NOAA and others can mashup data from a number of sources and resources to produce a fantastic and simple-to-use One Stop portal... two thumbs way up for this one!
