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: Blue Skies International 36 South State Street Suite 3000 Salt Lake City, Utah 84111
