Controls:

• - Res decreases the resolution; that is, fewer pixels cover the same geographic region, providing less detail.
• + Res increases the resolution; that is, more pixels cover the same geographic region, providing more detail.
• - Time decreases the time interval between images, in effect providing images more often.
• + Time increases the time interval between images, thus providing images less often.
• Reset resets the resolution and time increments to the default values.
• Pause/Loop will stop and start the animation (looping).
• < Step steps one time step backward (this will stop the animation if it is running)
• > Step steps one time step forward (stopping the animation if it is running)
