Check it out
Go to this URL:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/satellite.shtml Look at the section that says "Atlantic". Under the Atlantic heading you will see several links -- each link takes you to the current image of a satellite. If you click on the "Visible" you'll see the latest weather satellite images over the Atlantic -- click on the IR link and you'll see IR satellite images. I clock in at work at 0400 Eastern; I get up at 0230 and browse the 'net for a few minutes and I always check the visible view -- at that time of day, the sun is just beginning to rise over the mid- and western Atlantic and the satellite view shows sunrise creeping across the Atlantic -- the sunrise has not reached the USofA but has reached the central Atlantic -- sunlight is tinting the tops of the clouds and the ocean and by checking back every fiew minutes you can wathc the sunrise creep across the ocean. Check it out. |
