All the NOAA<\/a> GOES data<\/a> for the thumbnails have been accessed via the University of Wisconsin – Madison SSEC Satellite Data Services<\/a>. The Full Disk images were made using McIDAS-X<\/a> software, and combined with a series of ImageMagik<\/a> commands. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
