Animated Weather on Personal Digital Assitants:
The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS),
through its base funding, is supporting the development of a system for
distributing NOAA products for display on Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs). An example product is the ConUS Satellite Clouds (IR)
animation at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/paw/usus_usa_clds_anim_none.html.
The PDA Animated Weather (PAW) website contains real-time products
designed specifically for display on handheld devices with wireless
communication capabilities. Future products will include numerical
model based synthetic forecast radar and cloud image animations, near
real-time precipitation totals and GOES-based wildfire identification
and coverage. PAW will be demonstrated at the Space Science and
Engineering Center (SSEC) booth during the American Meteorological
Society Annual meeting this coming week. (R. Dengel, CIMSS,
