Atlantic Hurricane Season Satellite and Radar Imagery Animations

Prepared by:
Donovan Landreneau, Meteorologist (Senior Forecaster)

The Atlantic Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Affecting the United States and seasonal Atlantic Hurricane Season SMS & GOES Satellite Imagery animations available. Additional older analog imagery animations converted from 16mm film, VHS tapes, and other sources are included.

This webpage provides the links of the animations organized by year, and individual storm’s satellite and radar animations. These animations are available through the National Weather Service Lake Charles, Louisiana YouTube page.

Atlantic Hurricane Season SMS & GOES Infrared Satellite Imagery
These animations present a chronological succession of SMS & GOES Infrared Satellite Imagery for the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico. Within these animations, the names of all the tropical cyclones appear near the formation location. Being only an image animation, no audio was created.

Atlantic Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Affecting the United States
These animations chronicle the tropical cyclones that affected the United States each season, using SMS & GOES satellite imagery and land based National Weather Service radar in the areas affected. Being only an image animation, no audio was created.

The tables below show all the satellite and radar animations available, one table per yearly Atlantic Hurricane Season. The first title "Atlantic Hurricane Season SMS & GOES Infrared Satellite Imagery" links to the complete SMS & GOES infrared satellite imagery animation for that season. The next title "Atlantic Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Affecting the United States" links to the yearly YouTube playlist. Then the individual satellite and radar animations are linked to the corresponding YouTube animations. The storm names are linked to the National Hurricane Center's Tropical Cyclone Reports for further information on that particular storm.

*Unable to make animation due to data integrity issues.

SMS-2, GOES-2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16 satellite imagery archive has the following limitations:
- Data integrity issues, with black or white lines across some of the frames.
- Data gaps in archive left intermittent gaps in the animations, or in some cases, not enough data to create an animation for a particular storm.

The GOES-6 & GOES-7 satellites had a history of being moved to a central U.S. location. This was due to failures of the cloud imagers of GOES-5 (GOES East) on July 30, 1984 and GOES-6 (GOES West) on January 21, 1989. GOES-6 positions ranged from 98° to 107° West Longitude from August 1984-April 1987. GOES-7 positions ranged from 98° to 107° West Longitude from January 1989-December 1991, but stayed at 112° West Longitude from January 1992-November 1994 due to being low on fuel for yearly maneuvers. The following website has a great summary of all the GOES Satellites, dates of operations, and positions:
