Atmospheric Rivers (AR) transport large volumes of water vapor outside the tropics and, when making landfall, produce large quantities of rain that replenish aquifers, contribute to beneficial increases in snowpack, yet can cause flooding and significant damage to property and lives. Accurate forecasts of precipitation during landfalling ARs are critical because of their large role in water supply ...

Phase II of the New METSAT Display project will produce a working beta version of the Earth Imaging product customized for NWS/NOAA as outlined in the Phase I proof of concept. This product will ingest imagery from a data source (in this case a web service of NOAA satellite imagery) and display it accurately on a globe of the Earth.
