Recipe of a Hurricane (Part 1) - Sea Surface Temperature (match rendered)
This visualization was created in support of the 'Recipe for a Hurricane' live shot campaign. This visualization shows Sea Surface Temperature as measured by the NASA Aqua satellite's Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) instrument. Temperature is represented by the colors in the ocean. Orange and red indicate the necessary 82-degree and warmer sea surface temperatures for a hurricane to form. This visualization was match-frame rendered to another visualization showing GOES clouds.
