Infrared Look at Melor's Icy Thunderstorms

Caption

The AIRS instrument showed the large extent of Melor's cold clouds and rains (in blue and purple) as it neared Guam on Oct. 1 at 3:47 UTC. The colder the clouds, the higher they are, and the stronger the thunderstorms. Purple indicates higher clouds than blue.
