Cities

This layer shows major cities.

Land

This layer shows land masses at two different scales. The highly detailed large scale (zoomed in) data are derived from: GSHHS - A Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shoreline Database, obtained from the NOAA Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)

Gulfstream Sea Surface Temperature

This layer shows sea surface temperature. It is a seven day composite image from June 27, 2005. For detailed information about this image go to: http://fermi.jhuapl.edu/avhrr/gs/index.html

ETA Air Pressure

This product layer displays the modeled sea level air pressure from the NCEP ETA-12 model output. NCEP is the environmental prediction branch of the National Weather Service and runs the ETA atmospheric model operationally for a domain that covers all of North America.

ETA winds

This product layer displays the wind field at 10 m elevation from the NCEP ETA-12 model output. NCEP is the environmental prediction branch of the National Weather Service and runs the ETA atmospheric model operational for a domain that covers all of North America.
