Aerial Reconnaissance in the North Atlantic Basin

Atlantic recon in the last thirty minutes...

There has been no recent recon for
the products our site checks.

Satellite data does not currently automatically update in the Cesium display. You must refresh the page to update satellite imagery. Additional testing will continue with the new Cesium display. Updates will be made to the Cesium display at times that require refreshing one of the scripts of the display. Even refreshing the page may sometimes not work. You may have to visit the script here and refresh it manually before visiting the display if you have visited it previously.

System Status: Updating every 5 minutes. (summary)

Last check for data: Thursday, May 24, 2018 19:45 Z

A check of the NHC's recon archive also occurs as needed.
