CAPTION: This is an infrared image of the earth in the water vapor absorption band at 6.7 microns, collected by the GOES-8 geostationary satellite.
ANIMATION LOOP:
Two versions of a short, seven frame animation loop (130 k, each)
showing this water vapor imagery are available:
A large, high-resolution image of the
Great Lakes (406 k) during winter.
This image shows a relatively clear over the upper midwest during winter 1995/96. The Great Lakes are partially frozen over.
An image of the Colorado and the Rocky
Mountains (173 k) during winter 1995/1996.
The snow and forest covered mountain areas stand out quite clearly.
Imagery from Colorado,
collected during late spring and early summer (1996).
This links to a number of images from Colorado and surrounding states collected by the NCAR GOES-8 receiving system. The imagery includes animations of convective storms and smoke plumes from brush fires.
Imagery from Panama,
collected this spring and summer (1996).
This links to a number of images from Central America and Panama collected by the NCAR GOES-8 receiving system.
Imagery of the Hawaiian Islands
collected during HaRP, in 1990.
This image portfolio contains imagery from a variety of satellites, including GOES-7, NOAA-10 and 11, DMSP, Landsat, and SPOT.
Imagery of the oil fires and smoke
(163 k) over Kuwait and Saudi Arabia following the Gulf War.
This image portfolio contains imagery from the Kuwait Data Archive Project, or KuDA.
