Atlantic hurricanes, August 2010 C016 / 3873
Atlantic hurricanes. Earth globe satellite image showing hurricanes developing in the Atlantic in August 2010. North is at top. The Americas are at left, with the eastern coast of Africa just visible at far right. In the northern Atlantic inbetween, two hurricanes are seen: Hurricane Danielle (upper centre) and Hurricane Earl (lower centre, near the Leeward Islands). A developing tropical depression (lower right) later became Tropical Storm Fiona. Image data obtained by the GOES-13 (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-13) at 14:45 UTC on 29 August 2010

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the raw power and beauty of Atlantic hurricanes in August 2010. Taken from a satellite image, the Earth globe is depicted with North at the top and the Americas on the left side, while Africa's eastern coast can be faintly seen on the far right. In this snapshot of nature's fury, two distinct hurricanes dominate the northern Atlantic region: Hurricane Danielle positioned in the upper center and Hurricane Earl located near the Leeward Islands in lower center. A developing tropical depression is also visible towards lower right, which later evolved into Tropical Storm Fiona. The image was captured by GOES-13 (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-13) at 14:45 UTC on August 29th, 2010. The photograph not only highlights these powerful cyclonic storm systems but also emphasizes their impact on our planet's delicate ecosystem. The swirling clouds and churning waters serve as a reminder of both extreme weather conditions and natural hazards that occur within Earth's tropics. As we gaze upon this stunning visual representation of atmospheric turbulence, it serves as a testament to NASA/NOAA GOES PROJECT's commitment to earth observation from space. By capturing such remarkable satellite images like this one, scientists gain valuable insights into hurricane formation and behavior – knowledge crucial for understanding and predicting future storms accurately.
