Catfood Desktate

Desktate features include:

  • The terminator between day and night is continuously calculated; you can see sunrise and sunset around the world and observe the changing seasons throughout the year. Desktate includes several satellite images and you can download more to find the perfect combination. You can also control the transparency of the night image and the duration of sunset/sunrise.

  • Blue Marble 2 monthly imagery may be combined to show the extent of snow and ice throughout the year. You can also export a single image or a sequence of frames from Desktate (see the Seasons video for an animation created using this feature).

  • You can choose to rotate the image (so for example local noon or local midnight is always at the center of the screen) or fix the map on one location and watch the terminator progress across your screen during the day.

  • Optional layers include composite weather satellite cloud images, political borders, time zones and place names. You can create and merge in your own data, or create a custom list of place names.
