PATMOS-x Atmospheric and Surface Satellite Images

tropospheric temperature2 Days ago Amato Evan posted on the Google Earth Community a very useful atmospheric and global surface data layer that any Earth scientist or curious civilian will find useful and quite informative.

The following fields available in the klm file: false color imagery, total, low, mid, high, water, and ice cloud fractions, cloud drop effective radius, cloud optical depth, cloud top temperature and height, sea surface temperature, dust fraction, aerosol optical depth, and from NCEP: 500mb heights, troposphere temperature, and total precipitable water.

When opening the KML file you will find many data layers to choose from, for me the most interesting was the false color image. Also scroll to the bottom of your places options to see the tropopause temperature of the troposphere, and the option below that if checked will display the total precipitable water in the atmosphere. The data is not real-time, yet it is updated every 24 hours — Making it a fairly accurate and very useful data layer. The author is planning on creating animations of this data over the next ten days, but I’m not sure if it could be implemented into Google Earth or not.
