[misc.forsale.computers] Satellite Weather Windows

fmh@Solbourne.COM (Frank Hungerford) (04/03/91)

Blue Skies International of Salt Lake City, Utah has become a leader in 
low cost weather satellite imaging products for the IBM PC. These systems 
receive and display beautiful visible and infra-red images from United States,
Japanese and Soviet geostationary and polar orbiting satellites. These images
are global, regional or local to a resolution of 1 to 2 kilometers depending
on the satellite and its orbit. Images from Europe, Africa, Asia and the 
Pacific areas are relayed to the United States geostationary satellites
providing many views a day of these areas of the world.  The geostationary
satellites transmit images at the rate of 12-15 images per hour and the polar 
satellites continuously transmit images to earth as they fly overhead (usually 
10-13 minutes for a high arc fly over).

A demonstration disk is available with seven pre-captured images in a 
sophisticated windowing environment.  Many tools are available for the user 
including high definition area zoom; four image palettes including gray, 
infra-red, negative and user defined; automatic capture of preselected images 
throughout the day and night; image sequence animation and a large selection 
of calibration and alignment tools. All that is required is a mouse to navigate
through the windowing system, tools and on-line help.

For the IBM PC (VGA) user with interests in meteorology, these systems are truly
remarkable. For more information or to request a demonstration disk (enclose
five dollars for shipping and handling) write to:

Seems to me this constitutes advertising for a commercial product.
A strict no-no, last time I read the uunet rules.
