Katrina Clobbered New Orleans. Ike
Iced Texas. Now you can watch these storms as they traverse from
the Atlantic up through the Gulf, crashing into the US coastline.
Watch them grow from tropical depression to Hurricane. One
Continuous Time Lapsed Movie of storm evolution. Sharp, Crisp,
Clear imagery is captured from geosynchronous satellites
orbiting 23,500 miles up in space. You can clearly see
the eye of the storms evolve. You can even see the shadows that
the Sun casts within the eye.
Imagery is
provided in three different optical bands
- Visible
( 520 -
720 nm)
- Water Vapor
( 6470 - 7020 nm)
- Infra
Red ( 10200 - 12500 nm)
Cool stuff, Why? Because you see different features in the
different bands. The visible is crisp detail of clouds and even
some ground data. The IR is heat. The Water Vapor
absorption band really zeros in on the Hurricanes Moisture
content.
