This is a project I've been working on for a while....it is an aligned sequence of images of Hurricane Dean in the Atlantic/Caribbean basin from 0000 UTC August 18, 2007 to 0900 UTC August 21, 2007. During this time, Hurricane Dean was a strong Category 4/5 storm.
(Click to view the animated GIF) The images are aligned such that the outer rain bands have minimal displacement (semi-rotating coordinate frame). The black dot in the middle of the image is the eye of the hurricane. Image source: EUMETSTAT NERC Satellite Receiving Station, Dundee University, Scotland; http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/ -Mike [EDIT: These were taken using IR (Channel 4) from the GOES12 satellite. The images have been contrast-enhanced to bring out detail in the cloud structure.] -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
