True color image of Hurricane Charley as observed by MODIS onboard the Terra satellite on August 13, 2004. The large-scale atmospheric circulation indicated by the strip of clouds across the Gulf of Mexico pushed Charley north-northeastward across the Florida Peninsula.

As Hurricane Isabel intensified and weakened on its way to the East Coast, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observed Isabel many times. The TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) is the only instrument in space that can provide detailed three-dimensional rainfall measurements.

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which is related to the proportion of photosynthetically absorbed radiation, is calculated from atmospherically corrected reflectances from the visible and near infrared AVHRR channels.
