Sat pic gallery





Today's images in the visible light band which I received "off-air" from the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, ( NOAA ), low earth orbiting weather satellites, NOAA18 & NOAA19, automatic picture transmission, ( APT ), weather facsimilie, ( WEFAX ), service.

From top to bottom:-
NOAA19, 1104gmt, downlink 137.10MHz
NOAA18, 1141gmt, downlink 137.9125MHz
NOAA19, 1246gmt, downlink 137.10MHz
NOAA18, 1323gmt, downlink 137.9125MHz

There is still some sea-ice to be seen at the northern end of the Gulf of Bothnia.
If you look carefully you may see a red cross which gives away the position of my ground station.
