This loop shows GOES EAST mid-level water vapor data at 12UTC every day in 2025. The eastward shift of the data on 03/20 is the result of GOES-19 moving to its final position. GOES-19 took over for GOES-16, becoming the operational GOES EAST satellite on 04/07. Made with McIDAS-V

TROPOMI's view of the progression of sulfur dioxide from the #HayliGubbi #volcano in #Ethiopia from 11/23 (left) through 11/25 (right). The #SO2 has traveled more than 7,000km to over China. Some flights over India have been cancelled, delayed, and rerouted to avoid ash. #mcidas

NOAA-21 VIIRS Day/Night Band radiance data showing power outages over #Jamaica and #Cuba before (10/24) and after (10/30) the passage of #HurricaneMelissa. Made with McIDAS-V.

The progression of #HurricaneMelissa from October 26-29 during daylight hours. The animation, created in McIDAS-V, shows GOES East sandwich imagery with grayscale visible overlaid with colored infrared temperature data. Extensive damage has occurred in #Jamaica, #Cuba, and #Haiti

A swirl of dust can be seen over #Algeria on 07/24 using this Meteosat-10 Dust RGB animation, where dust is colored bright pink. Made with McIDAS-V. #mcidas

NOAA-20 #VIIRS Day Night Band detected power outages over #Greensburg #Kansas caused by a #tornado. This animation shows city lights over Greensburg before the tornado on 05/18 and after on 05/19. Made with McIDAS-V #mcidas

The #GEMS instrument on the GEO-KOMPSAT-2B satellite has detected #SO2 emissions from the #Kanlaon #volcano in the #Philippines between May 13 and May 15. The animation shows sulfur dioxide concentrations at hourly intervals during daytime hours. Made with McIDAS-V #mcidas

#VIIRS Day-Night Band imagery (NPP, N20, N21) showing the #LunarEclipse on 3/14. Before/after the eclipse, moonlight can be used to see the clouds. During the eclipse, this light goes away, the scene darkens, and we're left with city lights, aurora, and lightning flashes. #mcidas

GOES-16 tracking a #dust event across #AZ, #NM, and #TX. The Dust RGB (dust is bright pink) shows the extent of the dust, with dust storm warnings currently in effect in NM and AZ. Strong winds out of the southwest are responsible for lofting the dust into the air. #mcidas #wx

Storm #Eowyn impacted parts of the #UK and #Ireland on 01/24 with rain, snow, and wind gusts greater than 100 mph. This animation shows #Meteosat satellite data overlaid with hourly surface winds over the region. Made with McIDAS-V. #mcidas

On 01/22 NASA's #TEMPO instrument detected an NO2 plume from the #HughesFire in #California. The hourly scans from TEMPO allows us to see the evolution of trace gases during the day, opposed to other low earth orbit satellites that give one image a day over most locations #mcidas

The fresh swath of #snow that fell along the Gulf Coast on 01/21 can easily be seen in the Day Snow Fog RGB from GOES East satellite imagery. The area of snow, roughly outlined in white, is shown in red. Made with McIDAS-V. #mcidas

A year in satellite imagery, as shown by NOAA's GOES-16 geostationary satellite. This animation shows water vapor imagery at 16:00 UTC every day of 2024. Created with McIDAS-V. #HappyNewYear #mcidas

NOAA-21's overnight view of the #MountainFire in #California from before (10/06-L) and after the fire began (10/07-R). The top panels show the day/night band which highlights city lights and fires. The bottom panels shows a thermal infrared band with hot pixels yellow/red #mcidas

GOES-18 (L), GOES-19 (prelim, non-operational-center), and GOES-16 (R) showing #HurricaneKristy from 3 different angles in this 6-hour loop. #Kristy, a category 4 #hurricane in the eastern Pacific, is not expected to make landfall anywhere before weakening this weekend. #mcidas

#Fire activity continues across northern #Australia on 10/10, as shown by #JPSS #VIIRS true color imagery. Hot spots from VIIRS infrared data are overlaid (yellow, orange, and red pixels). Carbon Monoxide plumes from the fires detected by #TROPOMI are also shown. #mcidas
