Select a pre-defined region OR map center location {4-digit ICAO identifier - e.g. KALB or 5-digit WMO number - e.g. 72518 or latitude,longitude pair - e.g. 41.93,-88.71} and zoom factor: the satellite imagery type; date/time; the desired image size; county boundary option; and type of output (single image or loop options).
Notes:
- If you don't set the date, you will get the latest image data available.
- Data only go back to 15 days from the current date.
- Data are normally updated about every 10 minutes and are received about 10 minutes after data time.
- For loops, the date/time selected will be the approximate end time of the loop. Loops may take anywhere from 25-60 seconds to generate and display depending on server activity. During non-busy server periods, loops will usually contain 25 images. However, the number of images may be reduced during busy server periods, but these abbreviated loops will contain the closest images to the end time selected.
- The zoom function only works in conjunction with the map center location option, not with the pre-defined regions.
