Besides the presentation, there are URL links to other resources, a copy of my Feb 2017 Soaring magazine article: Models and Websites Overview

Of special note is an interesting video:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqxvas9nov...Trail.mp4?dl=0

showing 5 minute updated GOES-16 satellite visible imagery 0.5km resolution for a region around Seminole in central Florida. John Mittel's igc flight track is "snail trailed". Using the IDV viewer, there's an overlay of the Seminole landout/TP's (purple '+' with number), airspace and a green box for Seminole itself.

Thanks to John Bird for writing the python script that translates the igc file to the netcdf track format for IDV.

Enjoy...
