I live in San Diego and spend quite a bit of time hiking the local trails. I’ve noticed some of what this article mentions with regards to the proliferation of non-native plants.

It seems to be especially prevalent in areas where we had massive burn-offs from brush fires over the last few years.

Will this type of resolution of satellite images be available online somewhere?

Would like to have that color table of the Dallas cells for GR – nice color table.

Western Lake Erie is very shallow (green, yellow, red ares). I would thing that the shallow areas would freeze before the deeper blue areas?

In an email received from Jochen Kerkmann (EUMETSAT), this information from Theo Steenbergen, 16 January 2012:

In the strong westerly flow, a cold front rapidly moved across the North Sea, passing the Dutch coast in the afternoon of 3 January (see Met-9 HRV Animation, 10:00-14:30 UTC, animated GIF, 5718 KB). The front was accompanied with a squall line, visible in the radar image as a narrow band of intense rain. The coastguard (‘Rijkswaterstaat’) reported a so called meteotsunami at the coast at Ijmuiden, with a sea level change (rise and fall) of over 1.5 meters in 30 minutes.

RE: GOES-15 first full disk visible image

Awesome images! The website has had some vast improvements and info. Great job y’all!
Glad I was surfing the site. Was looking for more info on the current jet stream pattern over North America. Current images for 1/3/12 are rather odd from what I would expect to see.
