Stereoscopic views (using GOES-16 and — preliminary and non-operational — GOES-17 Visible (0.64 µm) imagery) of strengthening Tropical Storm Gordon are shown above. The stereoscopic view shows an initially sheared storm, with the surface circulation apparent becoming somewhat less sheared as convection redevelops over the surface center. (To view in three dimensions: cross your eyes until 3 equal images are apparent, and focus on the image in the center). This animation will be updated periodically as more GOES-17 data become available. (Click here for animated gif)
