Page History: |
|
October 2012 | Original version with 11 camera views,
designed based on the Mount Rainier Paradise WebCams webpage,
with cameras from the Washington Mountain WebCams webpage
Includes the option to show the last 24 hours of NWAC and
SNOTEL telemetry data from the Olympic Mountains below the webcams
Includes code to error-check for missing SNOTEL data
Later expanded to 12 camera views
|
November 2012 |
Expanded to 22 camera views in 4 rows, adding several WSDOT and Elwha River Restoration Project cameras plus Dungeness Lighthouse
Reduced image sizes from 480-360-240 to 360-270-180 pixels high for large-medium-small options, rearranged several camera images
|
December 2012 | Added more code to properly handle the new HTTP Status 404 errors from the SNOTEL server, and other unknown SNOTEL errors |
March 2013 |
Forced to write a new external script to grab SNOTEL data,
after the long-existing SNOTEL data programs on the NWCC website were suddenly redirected to a beta-version report generator
The new script is a major improvement, it displays wind and solar data for any SNOTEL sites which have those sensors, mostly installed within the last few years
|
November 2013 | Fix links to Elwha River Restoration Project images, which had switched to annoying variable URLs in October 2013 |
December 2013 | Expanded to 25 camera views, adding 3 WSDOT cams
Revised the page layout to use separate tables for each row, to better accommodate the very different widths of images
|
January 2014 | Fix links to Elwha River Restoration Project images, which had a small change in website URL |
March 2014 |
Fixed one camera link which had changed
Added an option to disable the NPS Air Quality Webcam (by appending "&aq=off" to the URL) if this page is not loading properly,
as server issues on that website are often the cause of such problems
|
November 2014 |
Expanded to 33 camera views rearranged in 5 rows, adding 4 WSDOT cams, the Olympic Rain Shadow cam, a 2nd Dungeness Lighthouse cam,
a wide view of the Olympics from Poulsbo, a view of Mt Constance from Hood Canal, and the UW Atmospheric Sciences West Webcam
Removed the long-defunct Silverdale cam, plus fixed one camera link which had changed
|
December 2014 |
Added an option to disable all NPS Elwha River Restoration Project cams (by appending "&el=off" to the URL) if this page is not loading properly,
as server issues on that website have been the cause of such problems
Improved the location info for all 4 SNOTEL sites
|
March 2015 | Fixed one WSDOT camera link which had changed |
July 2015 | Fixed Dungeness Lighthouse camera links which had changed |
December 2015 |
Expanded to 43 camera views rearranged in 6 rows, adding 6 more WSDOT cams on the western and southern sides of the Olympic Peninsula,
3 more new WSDOT cams at Jefferson County International Airport in Port Townsend plus 1 more at the ferry dock, and the Port Angeles Webcam installed in the summer of 2013,
while removing the UW Atmospheric Sciences West Webcam looking west from Seattle towards the Olympic Mountains which was discontinued due to lack of funding
Reduced image sizes slightly from 360-270-180 to 320-240-160 pixels high for large-medium-small options
|
January 2016 |
Expanded to 50 camera views, adding the Port Angeles Harbor View, John Wayne Marina, Bell Hill, Whidbey Island, Jefferson County Courthouse,
Hood Canal, and Indianola cams
Since there are so few snow telemetry sites in the entire Olympic Mountains, added all 9 of the
RAWS hourly telemetry sites on the Olympic Peninsula,
6 located in the foothills and 3 in the lowlands, which have precip, wind, solar, and other sensors (but not snowdepth)
Wrote a new external script to grab data from MesoWest (such as the data from
the RAWS telemetry sites), which downloads the data as a CSV file and formats it to match the style of the SNOTEL data
This fixes several major annoyances with the previous data format copied directly from MesoWest,
particularly the large amount of wasted space including an ungainly header table, unwanted derived data columns (like wet bulb temperature and multiple pressure values),
and especially the reverse chronological order, in contrast to the SNOTEL's normal order
Updated the external script which grabs NWAC data to generate an HTML table
which matches the style of the SNOTEL and MesoWest data, so these WebCams pages can now show an arbitrary mix of NWAC, SNOTEL, and MesoWest telemetry sites in any order
|
February 2016 |
Expanded to 46 camera views, adding cams at Lake Quinault and Humptulips
Major internal PHP code cleanup, updating and/or deleting legacy code left over from very long ago, from the
Mount Rainier Paradise WebCams webpage (March 2009) on which all of these "Webcams + Telemetry Pages" are based,
and even from the original Washington Mountain WebCams webpage (December 2004) on which the Rainier page was based
|
March 2016 |
Added the very windy Destruction Island, Tatoosh Island, Buoy 46087, and Buoy 46041 telemetry sites off the Olympic Coast, 3 National Water Level Observation Network sites
at seaside in La Push, Port Angeles, and Port Townsend, and 2 AirNow air quality sites near Neah Bay, all of which have wind data,
along with 3 precip sites in the very rainy southern Olympic foothills,
all with data available via MesoWest
Completely rearranged all of the now total telemetry sites in a more logical geographic order,
and improved the location info for all SNOTEL, NWAC, and RAWS sites
Fixed all Weather Underground camera URLs, which now apparently need "?time()" appended in order to update properly
|
October 2017 |
Fixed several camera URLs which had changed, but numerous now-defunct cameras are still pending removal from this page,
including all 6 NPS Elwha River Restoration Project cams which went permanently offline in September 2016, about
8-9 WSDOT cameras which have apparently been removed from service (why??) and no longer appear on their website, plus several other privately-owned cams
