NOAA Satellite Images of Countries

I have created these false colour images using data collected by NOAA polar orbiting weather satellites. The data has been decoded using a program called 'HRPT Reader' written by David Taylor. Collecting the images depends on finding days when there is a relatively cloud-free sky over the area of interest. The quality of the images varies but many show an incredible level of detail. Images may be freely used for educational purposes.
You can either:
  • browse the thumbnail images below & then click to see the larger version, or
  • click on the first image to start a slide show of the larger images
    If you have a slow internet connection, use the thumbnails to browse (or be very patient!)......
Would you prefer these images on a CD for your network or stand-alone PC ? Click HERE for details.
