(formely known as OrzonYT)

hello hi, I'm ZonResearcher (or just Zon or Zonrir which is where I'm known as everywhere else outside of Wikipedia) I upload tropical cyclone images, and edit pages mostly related to tropical cyclones. im usually active on the atlantic side, however i also occasionally edit pages for other basins such as the western pacific. to see my contributions, you can either click on contributions above the search bar or just click on This :D

QnA

Where do i get my Tropical Cyclone Images from?: i mainly use NASA Worldview to obtain tropical cyclone images, Occasionally when satellite data isn’t available or isnt fully loaded ill go to RAMMB/CIRA Slider or Triple-A-Tropics to gather tropical cyclone imagery


Where do i get my information about Tropical Cyclones From?: i get alot of my information from National Hurricane Center, i also track tropical cyclones using Triple A Tropics, the JMA and JTWC Websites for Tropical Cyclones in the Eastern Hemisphere. and GFS Models from tropical tidbits

How long do you plan on staying in the Wikipedia space?: i dont really plan on leaving or retiring anytime soon, since this is one of my hobbies after all :3
