The GOES-13 satellite keeps a continuous eye over the eastern U.S., the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, and noticed that System 99L is much better organized today, October 20, hinting that it could become a tropical depression la…
The GOES-13 satellite keeps a vigilant eye on the Atlantic Ocean and eastern U.S. and this morning at 5 a.m. EDT it saw System 97L organize into the seventeenth tropical depression of the Atlantic Ocean season. The only catch is that it is actua…
The GOES-13 satellite passed over a low pressure area designated as “System 97L” earlier today and captured a visible image of the low in the eastern Caribbean Sea. System 97L appears in a good place for development into a tropical depression …
Julia is waning in the eastern Atlantic Ocean because of outflow from massive Hurricane Igor, despite his distance far to the west. Satellite imagery from NASA’s Aqua satellite showed that Julia’s eye was no longer visible, a sign that she’s w…
NASA’s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite has provided a 3-D look at the power “under the hood” (of clouds) in powerful Category 4 Hurricane Igor as it heads toward Bermuda. In the meantime, Igor is creating dangerous surf in t…
Hurricane Julia intensified rapidly overnight and is now a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale and NASA’s Aqua, Terra and TRMM satellites captured clues as they passed over her from space.
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (T…
NASA’s Aqua satellite captured the birth of Tropical Storm Karl on Sept. 14 as it passed overhead at 3:05 p.m. EDT in the Caribbean. This morning, Karl made landfall in the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
By 5 p.m. EDT on Sept. 1…
NASA satellites provide infrared images to forecasters that show temperature, and today’s imagery of powerful Hurricane Igor showed the storm’s perfect form and the warm ocean waters around it that are keeping it fueled. NASA’s infrared data a…
GOES-13 captured a look at System 92L this morning as it continues moving through the central Caribbean, and it’s looking more and more like a tropical depression.
As the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite called GOES-13 satelli…
