Radar Image Archive
S-PolKa RICO, Codrington, Barbuda
Nov 2004 - Jan 2005
Usage
Make your selections in the frame to the left. Submit your
selections when complete. Loading of image info might take a little
while. Be patient.
Your browser must allow JavaScript.
Be sure to set your internet connection type. Connection
speed is important, and improper setting will cause dropped frames.
Be aware that not all browsers are compatible with this tool.
About this project
- The valid range of dates/times for this image archive are
shown in the initially-loaded frame to the left. While you
can select to see images from the entire period of collection,
it is recommended that you restrict your selection to a few
days at a time. Selection of all images may not be possible due
to browser memory limitations.
- The images available through this tool are best viewed over a
fast internet connection or off of local DVD or hard disk.
- Images viewed here are available on DVD, complete
with the image viewing software.
Compatibility testing
Old browsers are not supported. You should not be using an older
browser due to security concerns. This tool has been tested and found
to work with the following newer browser/operating system pairs:
- Mozilla / RedHat Linux 7.0
- Mozilla / WindowsXP Professional
- IE6.0 / WindowsXP Professional
- FireFox / WindowsXP
I have not sufficiently tested this tool under Max OSX and its
browser.
This tool has been found to fail under:
Obviously, there are many untested browser/OS pairs. There are
currently no plans to fix incompatibilities for older browsers.
About this viewer tool
- This is a fairly generic image viewing tool. Images displayed are static
images (likely formats are .png, .gif, .jpg). The tool can be used for
display of time-ordered data images, or for display of time-lapse photos
(web cam photos, for example).
- This tool is written in JavaScript. All selection and
processing is done on the client-side from static data and
image files (this allows simple porting of work to CD or DVD).
- There are known bugs; a list may eventually be compiled.
- The code used for this tool will receive incremental upgrades.
Check the EOL web (under this project) for the latest code.
- This tool does not pre-load images, and runs only as fast as
an image can be loaded into your browser; this is highly
dependent upon connections speed. Successive loops for the
same time period may be run faster, since the images are
likely already in local machine cache or memory.
