GOES-Big-Screen

A collection of web pages designed for real-time full screen viewing of GOES imagery.

Originally created to be used with tools like Chromecast Dashboard and DeMille’s url-cast-receiver on a Chromecast, but should work well on any big screen. (For instance an Amazon Fire TV)

Thank you to NOAA / NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research for making this possible! All images come from the GOES Image Viewer site.

    • Number of seconds it takes to bounce from top of the screen to the bottom. (Default: 4 Minutes>)
