Re: Shipping AIS And flight AIS tracking

So for AIS tracking I use either:

[https://www.vesselfinder.com/]

A site that has two tracks: free with paid upgrade
(For my taste, the data density in Vesselfinder is a bit too high.
I'm really not interested in real-time tracking of an anchor chain.)
I would say anything that hasn't moved within an hour is standing still.

or

[https://map.openseamap.org/]

Under the "View" tab there should be a menu item called Marine Traffic.

I'll see if I can get a bug fix pushed.

(For my taste, the better equipped side. Has the potential to find out whether we can stack the yogurt cups in the harbor in 2 to 3 days.

Und weil es mit Bild einfach schöner ist

AIS (automatic identification system) is not “a fantastic weather system” as you state in your previous post. It just transmits the position of a ship to other ships, to stations along coastline and to satellites. This allows to some websites to give the information to everyone.
I don’t see how this a way to tell about the weather, Of course ships don’t cross a current hurricane zone. But it is like looking at people with umbrellas to tell is is raining.

Why do I find myself in a situation where I want to justify a request that may or may not be useful?

We are not the same person. Forum search:"AIS" - 4 results -first (not entirely error-free) post selected.

Maybe it's still a bit early in the session.

You are aware that Windy has a very efficient Hurricane tracker?

Have a good day.

Unfortunately, there is also a tendency to mix current measurements and (I'm exaggerating here) fortune-telling.

The next orbit of Sentinel 2A should bring a nice total.
Lunchtime + 7h time difference + about 1.25h processing and upload

For you it is so difficult to separate past data and future ones (forecasts) on the track ?
When 3 weather centers (NHC, ECMWF, MetOffice) predict a similar track for Beryl, you call that fortune-telling !
