Hello friends, just a note that I have been steadily adding features over the last month+ to TC-ATLAS. This includes a real-time monitoring page for synoptic, subseasonal, and seasonal aspects. Examples attached. Check out more here: michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/rea...

I wanted to create a helpful tool, especially for the research community, to better understand tropical cyclones. This is essentially a collection of multi-platform observations used to examine TC convective and vortex structure. Shout out to Claude for the help making this possible.
Hello from 34k ft in the air as I’m headed to @AMSTropical. I just wanted to share that TC-ATLAS now features environmental diagnostics from ERA5 courtesy of TC-PRIMED and interactive NEXRAD radar data in the global archive page: michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/ind...
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...
One more new feature: The global archive page of TC-ATLAS now has a "models" toggle so you can review the evolution of past forecasts going back to 1991. Some notable examples of challenging forecasts below. michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/ind...
#Melissa is intensifying very rapidly this evening. TDR structure is nearly perfect for a TC of this intensity. Incredibly symmetric, strong eyewall, and a deep, aligned circulation. The sky is the limit. Very scary situation.
News: WH released proposed FY27 budget, continuing to push plan to eliminate NOAA Research and massively cut Earth sciences - while NOAA grant data for FY2026 shows only 7 new grants so far compared to 379 in FY2025, further evidence of curtailed science budget execution. tinyurl.com/5e3ptub2
Unfortunately the sky was indeed the limit. Catastrophic #Melissa is on track to be the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic in 90 years. Just absolutely gutted for the souls in Jamaica.
To highlight some of the capabilities, users can draw custom vertical cross-sections, compute shear-relative quadrant means, explore 3D isosurfaces, overlay IR and microwave obs on tail Doppler radar analyses, and even compute custom composites.
