The MeteoViewer uses pictures, that are received with the
MeteoCom
via Internet. The RadioContol from MeteoCom has an option for
SatFax-Receive, but the internet offers
a better solution. Because building up your own satellite
reception is to costly. But there are special Bonito programs
that can do this normally the rotating satellites NOAA-12 to 18
are received because their reception facilities are easier.
But also the direct way using a satellite dish can be used, the
APT-Mode is the easiest it uses the analog reception signal more
extravagant is the digital reception but delivers pictures with a
very high resolution.
Satellite pictures from Meteosat, EUMETSAT or GOES from NOAA are
liked to be used for satellite films and give information on the
course of the weather and its future direction. Watching the
weather by satellite is absolutely essential and is used by
professional weather forecasts. Amateurs also use these things as
a way of understanding the global behaviour of the weather. The
easiest way for the reception of satellite pictures is the
internet.

By InterNet this can be realized with very small costs. Therefore, satellite
images are loaded only from the InterNet and really received rarely. |

The meteoServer on its web sites offers the
download of these satellites pictures for free. If you use the
MeteoCom a fee has to be paid for using the program and the
internet-server. The service of the MeteoCom includes the special
preparation of the pictures so that they can display a useable
animation.
The MeteoServer has a special picture assignment service that is
used by the professionals hereby the pictures are prepared to the
wishes of people that give the assignment and are on the FTP
site. This means we do not sell any pictures we prepare the
pictures to your wishes because the pictures are mostly public
domain and are in a raw state and not useable for the amateur or
are far too big. Please have a look at the following uncorrected
picture on the bottom left and right edges (enlarge by clicking
onto the picture 5100 x 5800 ~5MByte) the other picture shows a
prepared picture the source is NOAA MODIS.

Such an uncorrected is the original that is why
you need some one that prepares it so that you can use it. If you
want pictures with a higher resolution then you should use the
link list at the bottom and prepare the pictures yourself.
In the MeteoViewer there is a special section under images for a
series of satellite pictures are can be used far an animation the
past weather is displayed on your screen as a film while you can
change the display, zoom or shift the pictures. Most noticeable
is the special image transformation used to allow a brilliant
display.
