• 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.

Are there any good resources for these? I've looked at a few places but can't seem to find anything in the format I'm looking for. Ideally they would be of similar format to this:

Most of the ones I've found are the "full" GOES 11 or 13 images which are at an angle and don't seem to have enough detail to pick out things like outflow boundaries.
 
The UCAR MMM archive is good unless you need data before about 1995. Also, it's missing images here and there. There's another place you can check that seems to have much better data availability: NCDC. Then you can view it using the Weather and Climate Toolkit NCDC provides. It's a pretty decent java-based free piece of software. I've used the system before and found it easy to use and quick to get results.
 
Those are two awesome links. I have used NCDC for archived radar images but I had no idea about the toolkit. Also I had no idea UCAR had that database. For satellite I have just used archived images from Unisys. Thanks guys!
