This is a collection of video DVDs that show satellite and radar imagery movies ranging from entire Atlantic hurricane seasons to individual U.S. tropical storm and hurricane landfalls. The video DVDs are recorded on 4.7 GB General Purpose DVD-Rs, and play just like a movie DVD. These DVD-Rs should play in DVD-ROM drives on computers with the proper DVD player software, as well as home DVD players capable of playing DVD-R discs. All of these DVD-Rs: 1) have no audio; 2) are region free, meaning that you can play them in any DVD player around the world; and 3) are not copy protected, meaning you can make as many disc copies on your DVD-R/RW recorder drive as you please.


Hurricane Audrey Radar Loops: June 26-27, 1957

This DVD presents rare land-based radar imagery of Hurricane Audrey June 26-27, 1957. The original source was a 16mm film made directly from photographs of the Plan Position Indicator (PPI) scopes of WSR-(1-3) radars from Galveston, Houston, Beaumont, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge. The author used a 16mm projector to display the movie on the screen while recording it with a DV camcorder, then transferring it to DVD.

The DVD is menu driven, with separate storm sub-menus describing the areas affected. Within each storm sub-menu, separate satellite and radar sub-menus allows the user to choose which satellite or radar sequence to view.
