Tracking Hurricane Andrew (1992)
Practice tracking Hurricane Andrew's location, forward speed, and direction of movement using (1) a tracking chart and center coordinates (latitude and longitude) for a storm, and (2) images that can be viewed with or without image processing software. 1. Print the Hurricane Tracking Chart and see tracking information to view coordinates for Hurricane Andrew.
2. Download the twelve satellite (GOES 7) images of Andrew. These images can be viewed with image processing software like NIH Image or merely with an image viewer like JPEGView. The images were taken at 6-hour intervals. Image number 01 was taken at 2:00 AM Daylight Saving Time (DST), Sunday, August 23; image number 12 was taken at 8:00 PM DST, Tuesday, August 25.
