GOES Microburst Product Web Page Improvements

Improvements to selected Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) microburst product web pages have been implemented. Improvements include implementation of AnimationS (AniS) software, a general-purpose Java image animator tool for websites developed by University of Wisconsin Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC). The software allows simple animation of two or more images with the following functions: stop and start animation, set animation speed, single step frames, change direction of animation sequence, go directly to the first or last frame, and movie looping or "rocking" modes. These improvements have been implemented on the GOES imager microburst product page:

and the GOES sounder Microburst Windspeed Potential Index (MWPI) product page:
