GeoColor satellite imagery competition - zoom.earth & Ventusky
-
@anthony10
"Visible" is not "true colour" ?
What's the diference? -
@Gkikas-LGPZ Do you mean this?
-
@anthony10 I strongly agree that Windy should switch to the GeoColor satellite product for visible imagery instead of what they use currently.
-
@mark-ingalls I’ll keep advocating for these changes. I believe both Zoom Earth and Ventusky have nailed the satellite ‘geo colour’ or ‘true colour’ (whichever is the correct term) and also NOAA with their 3D global view, it just needs playback features. Another great feature zoom earth offers is daily am/pm static images.

@anthony10 GeoColor is the name of the parameter in AWIPS, so I assume that's what an API call would require. I'd love the night time microphysics display to be an option too since I live in a region with frequent low stratus and fog but GeoColor is a higher priority for me.

@mark-ingalls Also, I'd like to see Water Vapour added to the Satellite layer.
-
@anthony10 On a similar note, I've been pushing for total precipitable water for a few years now. Hopefully someday they'll listen.
-
@mark-ingalls Lets hope if we keep this post at the top of the Feedback and Suggestion page then the dev's will know how much the community wants the satellite layering to expand. :)

Another visible layer I think a lot of users would like to see is an Ice/Snow layer. Similar to the Weatherzone website.

@anthony10 Alongside with an Ice/Flood/Fire satellite layer, I believe a Water Vapour layer would be very helpful for users & meteorologists.
