     Blue in the central column indicates that the particular Country has been recently added to the list.     
     Green in the central column indicates any satellite links that have been recently changed and checked.     
   Yellow in the central column indicates satellite links to servers outside of NASA and/or Meteosat.
The images are very wide and the loops, if any, are very long with 11 images to completely download.		   
   Red, in the central column, indicates Meteosat images which are updated every 6 hours. Only loops are
shown as one or more of the frames in each loop will show the updated images. Exclude images as desired.		   

ENHANCED (E) = Colorized Satellite Images      NON-ENHANCED (NE) = Non-Colorized Satellite Images

What do these satellite images show?

Visible Images

Albedo: The fraction of radiation reflected by a surface.
The satellite measures sunlight reflected by the clouds and surface of the earth.
Water absorbs a lot of sunlight (it reflects just a little) so it appears dark. The
percent of sunlight reflected by the land is called the surface albedo. The albedo
of land ranges from about 10-30%, except for snow covered surfaces where the
albedo is much higher. A cloud's albedo is generally high, but can vary with its
thickness and composition. Thick clouds have high albedos and show up bright
in the satellite image. Thin cirrus clouds have low albedos and are usually
semi-transparent to sunlight. The structure of clouds in the satellite image
can tell the meteorologist a lot about the weather and animations
tell him/ her about the movement of weather systems.

Infrared Images

The satellite also measures the temperature of the clouds and the surface of the
Earth with an infrared sensor. This allows for the detection of changes in the
temperature of clouds and that of the surface during the day and at night. Clouds
are usually colder than the surface (land or water). The temperature of the clouds
also indicates how tall they are since temperature is inversely proportional to
height in the atmosphere. When the satellite meteorologist processes the infrared
data, he/she makes the warm clouds gray, the cool clouds whiter, and the very cold
clouds bright white. Meteorologists may also "enhance" (color code)
imagery in order to more easily interpret the data.

Water Vapor Images

This imagery represents a special kind of infrared measurement which measures
the temperature of clouds and water vapor in a layer of the atmosphere about
6 to 10 kilometers above the surface. At this altitude, steering currents such as jet
streams control the movement of weather systems around the Earth. The water
vapor imagery therefore captures these jet streams (elongated dark regions
with adjacent clouds and bright regions), "dry" blocking high pressure systems
(dark regions), and other weather systems (gray and bright white cloud patterns).
By studying these features and tracking them over time, meteorologists
can produce more accurate weather forecasts.

Enhanced or Colorized Images

The colder the cloud the more likely it is to produce rain. The temperature structure
of clouds also tells the meteorologist how hard it may be raining and whether the
storm may be producing severe weather. In the absence of clouds, the satellite
measures the temperature of the surface, which could be land or ocean. In the
infrared image, warm temperatures are dark and cold temperatures are lighter. In
the image, arid regions are hot and therefore dark, while regions at higher latitudes
are usually cooler and brighter. The infrared image can also be used to monitor
sea-surface temperature (SST). Since about 70% of the Earth is ocean, this
allows the scientist to study how changes in SST (such as El Nino and La Nina)
are related to global weather events (such as droughts, hurricanes, and floods).

Limitations on Satellite Images

We cannot provide satellite images all the way to the Artic and Antartic
regions due to image latitude limits from NASA's Global
Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC).

We cannot provide satellite images from about 75 to 80 degrees east
longitude, near the center of the South Indian Ocean to the Artic,
due to image limits from GHCC. Due to these limits, the countries
affected are divided into "eastern" and "western" regions.
The two separate satellite images provided display
all or most of the countries involved.

We cannot provide "close-up" and/or visible satellite images for all
countries, since the all the worldwide satellite servers
involved do not provide these images at this time.

Some satellite images are close to the rim of the Earth, and the
"date-time stamp" is not visible. Therefore the countries
involved may not be centered in the satellite images.

Some of the smaller countries and island nations will not be visible
in the satellite images. However, most will be displayed
at or near the center of the satellite images.

White or black streaks and/or banding indicates temporary loss
of satellite data at a moment in time. The satellite "loops"
provided cover a longer period of time, and the
offending image/images can be excluded.

Additional Limitations on Satellite Images

Infrared (IR) and Water Vapor (WV) satellite images will display during
daylight or nighttime hours. Visible (VIS) images display only during daylight
hours. Sunlight is necessary for Visible (VIS) images to be displayed.
Visible images may appear delayed in time when the sun angle is too low
to generate sufficient reflected light...especially near sunrise and sunset.
High cloud tops will be displayed before low cloud tops near sunrise,
and high cloud tops will remain displayed longer after sunset.

Geostationary = Position in orbit is fixed with respect to a point on the earth.
Some countries will not appear at or near the center of the satellite images.
This is due to the various satellites geostationary positions above the Earth.

Regarding Visible Satellite Images

Due to changes in the angle of sunlight throughout the year, visible
satellite images will appear somewhat different from month to month.

During summer in the northern hemisphere, reduced sunlight is
available in the southern hemisphere. During winter in the northern
hemisphere, reduced sunlight is available in the northern hemisphere.
The opposite is true for those living in countries the southern hemisphere.
This reduction of sunlight is severe for those living near the polar regions.
