NASA's Cloudsat Satellite
« on: November 02, 2010, 11:41:27 AM »
    I received an newsletter from NASA that had pictures of Tomas taken by the "Cloudsat" Satellite.  This satellite shows 3-D images of clouds with it's "cloud profiling radar". There are some pics of the storms that spawned the tornadao outbreak in Tennesee, Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi.  Here are 3 links of cool stuff.
