Satellite outage over the North and South America (Sep 28)

[Zang 1]

@BlSHOP Please explain why an who would pay a weather data company to sensor free data, that is not available on the sources?
Go on and check by youself

I love your app and will hang til it is fix. Thanks.

Have a satellite image!

@nilmar_20 O problema não é no satelite, ele ta operando normalmente, produzindo os dados.
O problema é na infraestrutura de distribuição deles.
Tem 3 principais formas de entregar esses dados:

• GOES Rebrocast (GRB)
• EUMETCast/GEONetCast
• Open Data Dissemination Program Datasets

Os dois primeiros metodos são transmissões via satelite, sendo o primeiro direto dos satelites meteorologicos e um conjunto de antenas em terra. O Segundo é um compilado de informações meteorologicas (modelos, radares, cartas, etc...), que tambem é transmitido por satelite, com diversos fornecedores diferente. Esses dois metodos estão funcionando, mas eles demandam e instalação de antenas e hardware especializado para coleta dessas informações.

O terceiro sistema, distribui as informaçoes de satelite pela internet, usando os 3 principais provedores de cloud como hosts. É nesse sistema que a maioria dos usuarios, fora das universidades dependem para acesso aos dados.
Este sistema é o que esta fora do ar. Por que o local de onde esses dados são enviados para internet foi bastante atingido pelo furacão Helen.

English response:
The problem is not with the satellite; it's operating normally and producing data. The issue lies with their distribution infrastructure.

There are three main ways to deliver this data:

• GOES Rebrocast (GRB)
• EUMETCast/GEONetCast
• Open Data Dissemination Program Datasets

The first two methods are satellite transmissions: the first directly from weather satellites and a network of ground antennas. The second is a compilation of meteorological information (models, radars, maps, etc.), which is also transmitted by satellite, with various different providers. Both methods are functioning, but they require the installation of specialized antennas and hardware to collect this information.

The third system distributes satellite data over the internet, using the three main cloud providers as hosts. This system, which most users outside of universities depend on to access the data, is the one that's down. The reason is that the location from which this data is uploaded to the internet was heavily impacted by Hurricane Helen.

Satellite no function

[primus69]

thank you was wondering

[maxus3]

Reporting same experience - no satellite images, of any type. 3 days now. Tried with different computers and different networks so it's not "me".

@StephanieHH
Seems so , I should have mentioned I am in Australia, but after checking just now it has been resolved, happy days :)

@Bernardo-Cardoso Péssima hora pra acontecer isso..

@David-Polášek said in Satellite outage over the North and South America (Sep 28):

Due to major damage to critical infrastructure from Hurricane Helen, there is an outage of satellite data (GEOS-16 East and GEOS-18 West data) over the American continent. We are not receiving any data.

Thanks for the effort. There aren't a lot of choices! And Murphy's Law dictates that GOES will be restored moments after you do find a workaround!

[billkard]

Glad to hear it's not just me. I really use the satellite overlay more than any other and it's disappointing that it's not working. I hope it is looked into and fixed soon.

@BlSHOP
I agree with you. It hasn't worked for me going on over 5 days now. Ridiculous, as I am paying for Premium. I've been using Accuweather. I also use Clime and WeatherBug.

[theaudiman]

I note this morning that the satellite view is back but now the radar+ layer isn't working.

[TZ]

@theaudiman Hi, can you please specify your problems with the Radar+? Please also attach the type and version of your operating system and version of Windy application. According to our monitoring the Radar+ is working world-wide.

@TZ 

Worked for a day and broke this morning at 7:40AM est

Satellite outage again Oct 2. Watched the image of N America go from partial to nothing.

[BlSHOP]

You may want to “UNSOLVE” the status since you turned off the United States again.

Must be another fatal hurricane coming through. Nothing to see here.

[Wheats]

@BlSHOP I agree that although the reason for the outage is solved, the issue itself isn't solved.

NOAA is posting messages about the issues they are having with their products.

Windy isn't "turning off" anything.
