  • Stratocumulus off the Californian coast.(80K) This image was aquired with MODIS. Notice the interesting coastal features such as the Catalina-type eddy and cloud clearances behind headland features. The cellular convective features in the cloud are particularly stiking.
  • More stratocumulus off the Californian coast.(1 MB) This image was aquired with MODIS. Look at the strange fan-like disturbances propagating from the coast out into the cloud sheet near the top right.
  • Karman vortices forming in the lee of an island disturbance. (650K) This image was aquired with MODIS.
  • Stratocumulus cloud off the Namibian coast. (200K) This image was aquired with MODIS.
  • Amazing stratocumulus clouds off Oregon/California. (3MB, 250 m resolution) Some amazing mesoscale cloud features. This image was aquired with MODIS.
  • Cumulus clouds over Caribbean reefs and islands. (850K) This image was aquired with MODIS. See how striking the reef appears (lighter greens and blues) with the multispectral data from MODIS.
  • Shiptracks in low cloud over the East Atlantic (850K) This image was aquired with MODIS.
  • Pocket of open cells (A 'POC') embedded in marine stratocumulus (480K) This image was aquired with MODIS during EPIC 2001 over the SE Pacific.

  • MESOSCALE CELLULAR CONVECTION INITIATION AND GROWTH GOES-10 Lagrangian evolution of stratocumulus MCC growth off the Californian coast, 21-24 July 2001.
  • TROPICAL INSTABILITY WAVES TMI Sea-surface temperature animation (AVI format) for 1999-2000 showing tropical instability waves (TIW) in the East Pacific. Each frame is one day. Grid is equal lat-lon [180W-80W; 10S-10N], with SSTs from 20C (black) through 30C (white).
