Leave a comment The photo below is actually from a scan of the “full disk” of earth from the GOES-13 satellite. I have cropped the original in order to concentrate upon Tropical Storm Irene. Tropical Storm Jose also shows up in the image; it is very small. To find it look for a small blob of clouds, bright white (about half the width of the state of Florida and located off the Carolinas and next to Bermuda). More information follows after the image.
TWO INDEPENDENT LEFT CLICKS WILL ENLARGE TO THE FULLEST.
