Iceview

Iceview is a software application developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC). It is designed to provide visualization and data analysis capabilities for satellite imagery, particularly focusing on meteorological and atmospheric science data. Iceview allows users to view, manipulate, and interpret a wide range of satellite-derived products, including infrared, visible, and water vapor imagery. It supports various data formats commonly used in the remote sensing community. The software facilitates the creation of animations from image sequences, enabling the tracking of weather patterns and phenomena. Users can also overlay geographical information, such as coastlines and political boundaries, onto the imagery to provide context. Iceview is often used by researchers, students, and operational meteorologists for studying weather events, climate patterns, and other atmospheric processes. Its development aims to make complex satellite data more accessible and understandable for scientific inquiry and operational forecasting. The application's interface is generally designed to be user-friendly, offering tools for zooming, panning, and adjusting image display parameters.
