Ireland From Space

WolfeIRE

Thought it might be a good idea to set up a thread dedicated to latest satellite and radar imagery. Sometimes images get lost in other threads and it may be useful to track an image from a certain date via this thread.

The below link from MODIS is an excellent resource.

Thanks, Wolfe.
Be interesting to know too the actual time images are taken.

WolfeIRE

All Modis images are midday, JPR, unless specified otherwise

That line of cloud across the south coast is curious.

Rikand

its like the clouds have a spine.

Sure is Mick. Maybe Su could explain it.

Here is a close up and a shot of it two hours later (2pm)

Su Campu

That linear cloud is just jet fibre, caused by a strong little westerly jet streak of over 100 knots that was over the south at the time, moving northeastwards. The 12Z Valentia sounding measured 103 knots at 279 hPa (9.56 km).

Satellite image of Ireland on this day last year (27th Nov 2010 - taken around noon)



Snow can be seen lying over much of Connacht, Ulster and eastern parts of Leinster. The large shower clouds over the SE of the country brought plenty of thunder and lightning to eastern areas earlier that morning:

The showers hitting the north and west can be seen lining up after the frontal system passed through

As the storm thread is locked I'll post the Airmass image round the time the STING JET struck Malin Head causing the Hurricane force winds.
This image was taken at 6am so a little after when the sting jet struck and shows the dry descending stratospheric air (Brown colour) push the very strong upper winds down to the surface over Donegal at the same time we see the hook.

Ireland from the International Space Station

John mac

Flying at an altitude of about 240 miles over the eastern North Atlantic, the Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station photographed this nighttime scene.
This view looks northeastward. Center point coordinates are 46.8 degrees north latitude and 14.3 degrees west longitude. The night lights of the cities of Ireland, in the foreground, and the United Kingdom, in the back and to the right, are contrasted by the bright sunrise in the background.
The greens and purples of the Aurora Borealis are seen along the rest of the horizon.

This image was taken on March 28, 2012.

a bit of background for the photo.
