Feb 2 —New Data Sources: Clouds and OSCAR Currents

These notes are periodic updates to a progress report on a transpacific ocean row using state of the art weather overlays in Google Earth. Description of the Project.  See also Index of data sets in use.

All seems to be going well. Jacob covered a total of about 126 nmi over the past 3 days for an average of 42 nmi/day (1.75 kts).

Recent additions to the GE display include cloud cover and the OSCAR currents, which have been missing due to government shutdown.

Will also try today to move a copy of the first post into this blog.  Not sure if we will need both blog and video channel, but for now we have both. This can at least be used to update the videos or correct mistakes.
