Taken from uploader's talk page:

Here's the link for the satillite data [1] in the link are years of tropical cyclone seasons. The links for the cyclone image are not labled by name, but by a letter. Here's an example - 1982011S11140/ The S in the name tells the cyclone was in the southern hemisphere. N means the cyclone was in the northern hemisphere. Go to the AVHRR visiable data and that where the name of the cyclone and the time the image was taken is. Click on the png. file of perfered time and save it. The next step I use Photoshop with. The colored land and sea background is here: [2] archive copy at the Wayback Machine once uploaded you will need to srink the image to about 10327 X 5164 px. You change the png. to RBG color and drag it over to the world image and you overlay it to where the cyclone happened at the time. Crop the image, and set the opacity to 100% on layer 1. In the next step I like to use the clone stamp tool with these settings; Mode = Screen Opacity = 44% Flow = 100%. I choose an area on the background image that corresponds with the satellite image, and I color the image with one layer of color. Afterwords I correct contrast and set the saturation up 37%. And if the image is a bit dark or light, I adjust levels to a correct setting. Flatten image and save. You can undo history to repeat steps with another image as the clone stamp still has a correct location of the world image. It's a bit long but that's the way I create the images. :) Supportstorm (talk) 12:16, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
