Description
Earth's clouds simulation, GEOS-5. This still image, part of an animation, is centred over the Malay Archipelago. It was produced using NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System-5 (GEOS-5) atmospheric simulation. The global atmospheric simulation ran at 3.5 km per grid cell and covered a single day: 2 January 2009. The results are shown on a spherical projection of the Earth's surface and are used in weather forecasting. The Earth's surface in this visualisation is constructed from 'Blue Marble: Next Generation' data from the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors on the Terra and Aqua satellites.
