BACKGROUND
This web page provides near real-time imagery for the Arviat (ᐊᕐᕕᐊᑦ) region of
Nunavut (ᓄᓇᕗᑦ) and the northwest Hudson Bay (Kangiqsualuk ilua) area. The background images linked
in table below are from
the visible and infrared
channels of the NOAA geostationary satellite GOES-16 (eastern
satellite). The apparent offset of
clouds from their true location above the ground, parallax, has been
addressed: a parallax correction has been applied to
the images using the cloud top temperature from band 13 (10.3 microns)
and
a standard atmosphere temperature profile. The
images are updated at 30 minutes intervals. Circles on the images indicate 25 km distance from Arviat.
Flash based applications used for interactive animations were
developed
by Tom Whittaker of the Space Science and Engineering Center SSEC,
University of Wisconsin-Madison. This requires Flash to be installed on your computer for the animations to work.
