The image loop above shows GOES-15 11-micron imagery every half hour as Tropical Depression #4 in the Atlantic strengthened to become a minimal Tropical Storm, gaining the name Colin in the process. The infrared imagery shows periodic bursts of convection with brightness temperatures colder than -70 C near the center... Read More
GOES-13 0.63 µm visible images (above) and GOES-13 10.7 µm IR images (below) from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones site showed Tropical Storm Bonnie crossing southern Florida on 23 July 2010.Bonnie was encountering increasing amounts of southeasterly... Read More
GOES-13 10.7 µm IR imagery from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones site (above) showed the development of large convective bursts around the center of Hurricane Alex during the 29 June – 30 June 2010 period. Alex became the first June hurricane in the Atlantic Basin since the 1995 tropical cyclone season (which produced Hurricane Allison).An AWIPS image of POES AVHRR... Read More
