CloudSat's Cloud Profiling Radar captured a profile across Tropical Storm
Andrea on Wednesday, May 9, 2007, near the South Carolina/Georgia/Florida
Atlantic coast. The upper image shows an infrared view of Tropical Storm
Andrea from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument
on NASA's Aqua satellite, with CloudSat's ground track shown as a red
line. The lower image is the vertical cross section of radar reflectivity
along this path, where the colors indicate the intensity of the reflected
radar energy. CloudSat orbits approximately one minute behind Aqua in a
satellite formation known as the A-Train.
