U.S. Weather Satellite Imagery The example provided above occurred around the time of the winter solstice, the shortest period of daylight for the year. The next example is near the fall equinox. On either equinox (fall or spring), the period of daylight and darkness will be approximately equal across Earth. As implied by the term equinox, Earth's Northern and Southern Hemispheres are equally illuminated and the local sunrise and sunset positions on the horizon are due east and west, respectively. Visible images are analogous to an ordinary photo taken from space. As an example, Figure 3B-2 displays a visible image acquired recently, at 12312 on 3 September 2020, when sunrise occurred along the dotted line extending through the Montana-Saskatchewan-Alberta border and south past El Paso, TX Figure 38-2.

Because of the relatively low sun angle, the clouds in northeast Texas cast a narrow shadow onto clouds further west (this phenomena is also in central Kentucky). L Lumpy-looking clouds can sometimes be associated with rain showers and thunderstorms. This is seen in the spotty rain showers and some thunderstorms occurred in northeast Texas, eastern Arkansas and central Kentucky under the lumpy clouds there. Clouds associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Omar can be seen in the Atlantic Ocean as a nonuniform swirl (moving away from land). The National Hurricane Center (NHC) tracked this area of storminess as it degraded in strength and intensity No other tropical systems are apparent, but hurricane season in the Atlantic was far from over. In fact, at this time period, the Atlantic Hurricane season was nearing its historic or statistical "peak." Based on over 100 years of record, 7-11 September corresponds closely with the time of warmest sea-surface temperatures across the tropical North Atlantic. 8.

Cloud conditions are not seen across the western quarter of the US and Canada in the image because a the satellite was not aimed to view that surface b. the Sun had not yet risen there, leaving darkness Note the dashed-yellow line on the left side of Figure 3B-2. This line represents a terminator, a line separating day and night, at 12312 on 3 September 2020. This particular terminator can also be called the sunrise line, as it was progressing westward across Earth's surface as the planet rotated eastward. 10 10. The Texas-New Mexico border approximates a north-south line of longitude. The terminator line seen on Figure 3B-2 is (roughly) this north-south border. This line of longitude is also roughly approximate to the El Paso, TX sunrise time for this day, since El Paso is along the terminator. The terminator's orientation relative to north-south longitude lines does, however, change throughout the year a perpendicular b. parallel
