NASA AIRS Infrared Image of Danielle's Cloud-top Temperatures

Caption

This infrared image of Danielle's clouds from NASA's Aqua satellite was captured on Aug. 23 at 16:17 UTC (12:17 p.m. EDT) and shows a tightly compact cyclone. The strongest convection (and thunderstorms) are colored in purple and appear as a large circle in the inside of the storm. The purple coloration indicates highest cloud tops as cold as or colder than -63 Fahrenheit.
