NOAA Storm Tracker is a convenient way to follow tropical storms and hurricanes. (Click image for larger view of NOAA Storm Tracker.)

NOAA Storm Tracker contains live links to advisories, tracking maps and satellite images of a particular storm that is projected to strike the United States or other nations in a storm’s path.

NOAA Storm Tracker also includes links to data from ocean buoys and tide gauges, the latest high resolution satellite imagery and Doppler radar images of a tropical storm or hurricane. Storm Tracker is designed to open a new and smaller browser window, which can be resized and placed anywhere on a computer desktop. This allows the user to continue surfing the Internet while keeping track of a storm. The live links in NOAA Storm Tracker update automatically without having to “refresh” or “reload” the browser window. However, it is recommended that you “reload” or “refresh” storm tracker periodically to get the latest links to other NOAA products, especially as a storm gets close to the U.S. mainland

NOAA Web sites were literally stormed by millions of people during the very intense 2005 hurricane season. The NOAA home page received more than two billion hits for all of 2005. The Web sites of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service received more than 12 billion hits during the months of August, September and October—when the Atlantic spawned one storm after another.

“NOAA Web sites have proven to be enormously popular with citizens in the United States and worldwide,” said retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “Saving life and protecting property is one of the primary missions of NOAA, and one way we communicate vital information is through our Web sites.”
