Low pressure, UK, satellite image
Low pressure, UK, satellite image. North is at top, with land areas outlined in black. The swirl of clouds at lower centre is a lower pressure system centred over South-West England. Its associated fronts brought strong winds, torrential rain and subsequent flooding to many areas of the UK. Image data obtained on 7 July 2012, with the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) sensor on one of NASAs Earth Observing System satellites (Terra and Aqua)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satellite image of low pressure over the United Kingdom, showcasing the power and impact of meteorological phenomena on our planet. With North positioned at the top, the black outlines delineate land areas while drawing attention to the mesmerizing swirl of clouds at the lower center. This particular low-pressure system is centered over South-West England, its presence marked by associated fronts that unleashed strong winds, torrential rain, and subsequent flooding across various regions in the UK. Obtained on 7 July 2012 using NASA's Earth Observing System satellites equipped with MODIS sensors (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer), this image provides an extraordinary perspective from space. The intricate details captured reveal both geographical features such as islands and oceans as well as meteorological elements like cloud formations. It serves as a testament to humanity's advancements in earth observation and understanding weather patterns. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its scientific value but also in its portrayal of nature's immense forces. It reminds us of our vulnerability to atmospheric conditions and their potential consequences for communities living within their reach. As we delve into the complexities of earth science through images like these, we gain a deeper appreciation for our planet's interconnected systems and strive towards better preparedness for future weather events.
