AIRS Microwave Image of Parma

Caption

NASA's Aqua satellite data created this microwave image of Parma on Sept. 30 at 12:59 p.m. EDT (16:59 UTC). Cold areas (yellow-green) stretch from Luzon in the northern Philippines south past Mindanano, and indicate precipitation or ice in the cloud tops. The purple area (around the eye) that almost looks like a shoe, has the coldest cloud temperatures to -63F and suggest cloud tops near the tropopause.
