Hey marv, I just reposted some threads of the past that have a bunch of different SST sites. Take a look at the threads "Weather Related Sites" and "Favorite Salty Dog sites".

My preference is

http://coastwatch.pfel.noaa.gov/data.html

Keywest,

Did you download the new software last summer for Coastwatch so you can get accurate coordinates off the maps? It's really cool but I haven't had a lot of time to play with it. You can download it off the same site.

Sure did - CDAT.EXE

I used it quite a bit - it's a great program. I like the ability to change the colors with the histogram function.

I do a bit of computer programming so I downloaded some tools to work with the data files but haven't had an opportunity to play with them much. A couple of useful add-on's to the CDAT program would be the ability to upload my waypoints and data tracks (Garmin) after a trip. I also want the ability to show the temperature gradient between pixels or average of X number of pixels. This would show large gradients in different colors than small gradients. Sure, you can kind of eye-ball that now, and with the historgram tool do an even better job - but I like playing with this sort of stuff!
