It's the first day of hurricane season in the Atlantic. TC-ATLAS now features a real-time monitoring page with geostationary and microwave satellite data, real-time surface observations, and objective model forecasts from Google DeepMind. michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/rea...
Interested in hurricanes? I want to introduce TC-ATLAS: the Tropical Cyclone Analysis Tool for Live and Archived Structure. Explore live or past storms without writing a line of code or downloading a data file, building on the capabilities of TC-RADAR: michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/ind...

Feel like most of its too niche to find widespread use, which is totally fine because its hosted on github rather than a dedicated server, but I mean if it benefits literally anyone, that's better than no one. It's mostly for my own convenience, anyway.
Also, I graduated
