• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Advanced Satellite Data? (GOES Derived Products, NUCAPS, GLM, etc.)

Hey guys, I recently took a number of short MetEd courses on the applications of GOES/JPSS satellite products such as the GLM, NUCAPS, Derived Motion Winds and other such derived products and advanced imagery data for analyzing severe storms and atmospheric environments. I've done some poking around on the internet for sites that provide these products, but as of yet I have not found a website that offers the full suite of derived products from the GOES. I've used the standard GOES Satellite Imagery Viewer webpage for a while now in addition to The College of Dupage's NexLab webpage, which offers the most products of any site I've been able to find so far, but it lacks several derived products (most notably Derived Motion Winds and NUCAPS) as well as lacking a few GLM products (especially as the FED product has not been rendering for me on the webpage recently for whatever reason). I did come across the SSEC's RealEarth webpage, but it's very clunky and hard to run and I would prefer to use another option if one is available.

TL : DR, I'm looking for websites or programs which provide access to Advanced Satellite Data and I'm curious as to what your thoughts/suggestions are.

Thanks in advance for any help!
