Satellite imagery delay and the effect on hurricane visualization #8
Tropical storms and hurricanes can rapidly develop, which often means latency of satellite imagery is very important.
Further analysis and sources are needed but lets take Hurricane Charley for example, which was quickly moving at around 25 miles per hour. Note that velocity is defined as the rate of change in the position of the storm's center and maximum sustain wind speed is a different vector.
The current GOES satellite imagery has around a 10 minute latency, which would have meant that satellite imagery would have approximately a 4.167 mile radius error (25 mph times 10mins/60mins).
This issue is meant to track this question. Although other things can be discovered, an investigation into the average velocity of a tropical storm must be considered before closing this issue.
