Zoom Earth serves as an advanced, interactive global weather map and a cutting-edge real-time hurricane tracker, designed to keep you informed about hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones as they develop. This platform provides a wealth of features, including high-resolution satellite imagery, real-time rain radar, detailed weather forecast maps, and comprehensive tracking of hurricanes and wildfires, all customizable to suit your preferences.
Key Features
Satellite Imagery: Zoom Earth offers access to near real-time satellite imagery sourced from multiple global providers like NOAA GOES, JMA Himawari, EUMETSAT Meteosat, and NASA's Aqua and Terra polar-orbiting satellites. This allows you to visualize global weather patterns with precision.
Rain Radar: Stay one step ahead of the weather with our interactive rain radar map. It displays real-time data on rain and snow, utilizing ground-based Doppler radar to help you prepare for incoming storms.
Weather Forecast Maps: Dive into a visually rich experience with our interactive global forecast maps. These maps detail forecasts on precipitation, wind speed and gusts, temperature, "feels like" temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and atmospheric pressure, ensuring you have all the information you need at a glance.
Hurricane Tracking: With Zoom Earth, track the progression of hurricanes from their inception to Category 5 status in real-time. Our state-of-the-art tropical tracking system integrates the latest data from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS), providing unparalleled accuracy and detail.
Wildfire Tracking: Keep an eye on wildfires around the world with our active fires and heat spots overlay. This feature uses daily updates from NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) to show points of very high temperature detected by satellites.
Customization: Tailor your experience with Zoom Earth through our extensive customization options. You can adjust temperature and wind units, time zones, animation styles, and more to make the platform work perfectly for you.
