Cameras
The Space Science & Engineering Center in collaboration with the Department of Atmospheric Science maintains several high resolution cameras atop of our building (AO&SS) located on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. These cameras take pictures every 10 seconds. The pictures shown below from our rooftop cameras are automatically updated about every two minutes.A gallery / archive of interesting and notable movies captured by the cameras is available.
