Cloud streets, Greenland, satellite image
Cloud streets, Greenland, satellite image. North is at top, with Greenland and Iceland outlined in black. Cloud streets are parallel lines of clouds aligned with the wind. Also seen here is a low pressure system centred off south-eastern Greenland. Image data obtained on 6 March 2012, with the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) sensor on one of the polar orbiting satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOa)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of cloud streets in Greenland, as captured by a satellite image. With the north positioned at the top, this stunning snapshot outlines both Greenland and Iceland in bold black lines against a backdrop of swirling clouds. Cloud streets are distinct parallel lines of clouds that align with the direction of the wind, creating an awe-inspiring visual spectacle. In addition to these remarkable formations, this image also reveals a low-pressure system centered off southeastern Greenland. The data for this photograph was obtained on 6 March 2012 using the AVHRR sensor on one of the polar orbiting satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This satellite-based technology allows scientists to monitor meteorological patterns and weather conditions from space. The European continent can be seen in proximity to these cloud streets, highlighting how interconnected our planet's atmospheric systems truly are. As we delve into Earth sciences and observe our world from above, we gain valuable insights into meteorology and cloud formation processes. This extraordinary photograph serves as a testament to humanity's progress in earth observation and underscores NOAA's vital role in advancing our understanding of weather patterns. It is through such images that we come to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility of our planet's natural wonders.
