Tropical Storm Ernesto, satellite image C013 / 5157

Tropical Storm Ernesto, satellite image. This view looks south over Florida, USA, as this storm (white clouds) made landfall on 29 and 30 August 2006. At upper left are Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti. The land at upper right is part of the mainland of Central America. The Gulf of Mexico is at lower right. This storm, here several hundred kilometres across, intensified to reach near-hurricane status as it moved north for a second landfall in North Carolina (31 August). Image data obtained on 29 August, by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASAs Aqua satellite, part of the Earth Observing System (EOS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the immense power and beauty of Tropical Storm Ernesto as it approached the coast of Florida, USA on August 29 and 30,2006. The satellite image provides a breathtaking view looking south over Florida, with the storm's white clouds dominating the scene. In the upper left corner, we can see Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti while Central America's mainland is visible in the upper right. The Gulf of Mexico stretches out towards the lower right. Measuring several hundred kilometers across, this cyclonic storm system intensified to near-hurricane status as it moved north for a second landfall in North Carolina on August 31. The image was captured by NASA's Aqua satellite using its Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument as part of the Earth Observing System (EOS). Its optical capabilities allowed for detailed meteorological observations. The photograph showcases not only the raw power of nature but also highlights how interconnected our planet is. It serves as a reminder that weather systems like Tropical Storm Ernesto can impact multiple regions simultaneously. This stunning visual representation offers valuable insights into meteorology and physical geography while showcasing NASA's commitment to earth observation from space.
