APRS TRACKING BERTHA

Bob Bruninga, WB4APR, US Naval Academy Satellite Lab, Annapolis, MD


This screen shows a replay of the track of BERTHA as received and displayed on APRS maps nationwide. APRS stations including the National Hurricane Center use APRS for storm tracking remote WX reporting. Notice how not only is the storm position constantly updated, but also the predicted 12, 24 and 36 hour future positions as well. Notice also the automatic APRS WX stations on some of the islands and Florida.
