NASA's Infrared Image of System 92L

Caption

This infrared image from the AIRS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite was taken on June 14 at 04:29 UTC (12:29 a.m. EDT). There are some high, cold thunderstorms (purple -74F/-58C/215 Kelvin) in some of the areas of convection (blue)/clouds. The deep orange false-color of the ocean surface is about 80F (300 Kelvin), warm enough to support tropical cyclone development.
