There’s a new version of the excellent virtual globe EarthBrowser.
With near real-time weather satellite images, sea surface temperature animations, hundreds of webcams (and the ability to customize the database) hurricane tracking and higher resolution maps than before, this remains a fantastically useful piece of software. It complements Google Earth and by virtue of it’s simplicity is perhaps the better classroom application for certain topics, particularly for teaching weather and climate. I wrote a short article about using Earth Browser in the classroom last year (link to article).
