Typhoon Tracker (台風 태풍 台风) for Android

11 things about Typhoon Tracker (台風 태풍 台风)

1. The Dvorak technique is a method using enhanced Infrared and/or visible satellite imagery to quantitatively estimate the intensity of a tropical system.

2. Cloud patterns in satellite imagery normally show an indication of cyclogenesis before the storm reaches tropical storm intensity.

3. Using these features, the pattern formed by the clouds of a tropical cyclone, expected systematic development, and a series of rules, an intensity analysis and forecast can be made.

4. Shows cloud temperature in aviation colors.\n\nWhile derived from operational satellites, the data, products, and imagery available in this app are intended for informational purposes only.

5. Bright and colored areas indicate high water vapor (moisture) content (colored and white areas indicate the presence of both high moisture content and/or ice crystals).

6. This image is generated using a combination of Visible and IR using a three channel technique to form a Red/Green/Blue false color image.

7. The app displays detailed satellite imagery animations, allowing you to track the storm using the most recent observations.

8. This image is taken using a wavelength sensitive to the content of water vapor in the atmosphere.

9. Shows the same as rainbow imagery, except very cold and hot temperatures are emphasized in gray and black colors.

10. Channel 2 Shortwave Infrared imagery - Shortwave, sometimes considered 'night visible'.

11. Water vapor imagery is useful for both determining locations of moisture and atmospheric circulations.
