Weather Conditions
**Note: The wind sensor is located only 5 feet above the roof and thus gives readings that are often 50% lower than what they really are. Also, the direction is not as constant as it should be due to turbulence on the roof.
Please Note Regarding Wind Direction The anemometer is located on the eastern side (facing the ocean) of Ocean Trails, a 14 story condominium complex. When there is a wind out of the west, the wind direction and the speed respond to the turbulence in the wake of the building, giving readings from all directions. We are discussing new locations to give more useful readings. More Weather Graphs |

The 3 shots above show dark water flowing out of the intercoastal area through the inlet. The exceptionally dark color is due partly to runoff from all the rain, and partly due to the naturally dark colored water from the Everglades.
please feel free to submit your own 'best of' images and we'll add them to this page...send them to EVS

Recent Changes to the Camera
System May 23 2007: Weather-Loop Video added to Web Page. This is an experimental flash application that buffers the last 20 images received from the video camera, and plays them back in a time lapse manner (similar to a weather loop). The sequence of images is 'played' every time a new image comes in. A new video image is uploaded every 2-5 seconds, so you should see about 2 minutes of action. Since the video camera is inside the same housing that the digital camera is in, you will often see the camera 'move' around, at various zoom values. For example, when the movie of the end of the jetty is made, the video camera is zoomed in all the way. If a digital shot is done next, the camera housing will be repositioned for the digital camera, and the video camera may remained zoomed in all the way, so all you may see are waves in the middle of the ocean. We are working on modifying its sequence of shots so that when its moving about, the video camera is zoomed out. NOT WORKING?? If the image has not updated in the last minute, try refreshing your browser (F5), and if it still doesn't update, it means for some reason, new images are not being uploaded form the camera station....could be maintenance, or a bug in the program, which should fix itself within the hour ( a watchdog circuit will reboot the system).
April 18, 2007: A new Rainwise MKIII Weather station was installed to replace the old Davis Monitor II station. That old Davis system has been up there since the system was first installed in 2002...time to go!
Feb 4, 2004: New weather data software was installed that gives much more complete weather data and statistics. Updates now occur every 5 minutes. Weather trends and forecasts are also provided, along with past highs and lows.
Oct 6 2003: A new camera and pan/tilt unit has been installed and the results are excellent. The 5 mega-pixel Olympus C-5050 digital camera takes some of the highest resolution shots on the internet. A polarizer has been attached to the lens, and the saturation levels have been increased to provide beautiful images that show almost glare free colors, allowing one to see the near shore turbidity and the colored (typically brownish) waters that comes out from the inter-coastal areas. The camera has been mounted on its side, that is, rotated 90 degrees from the normal position, so the images are taller than they are wide. This picture shows the inside of the camera housing. Next to the digital camera is the Sony block video camera. It has excellent low light capabilities and an 18x optical zoom.
Aug 21 2003: A new system has been installed to replace the one damaged by the tornado on Aug 10. This new system has both a digital camera for beautiful hi resolution shots (an Olympus C-700 with polarizer) and a Sony Block Video camera that features low light and extended zoom capabilities. The digital camera is programmed to take hourly shots during the day of both zoomed and wide angle views, stitch them together into one high resolution image, and upload them with a thumbnail to the Internet. The video camera takes more frequent images of both a wide view and a zoomed view on Jupiter Inlet. For more information about this system, please visit Erdman Video Systems.
