Global Infrared Cloud Cover, September 2001 (WMS)

Visualizations by Eric Sokolowsky Released on February 11, 2004

This animation is a mosaic of cloud cover data taken by several different satellites in the infrared band. One of the most prominent cloud features during this time was Hurricane Erin near the Atlantic coast of the United States.

This animation is meant to be wrapped around a three-dimensional globe. It shows a global composite of cloud cover data taken from the infrared sensors of several different satellites during September 2001.

This product is available through our Web Map Service.
