NOAA's Spherical Earth Display

Four projectors shone specially-prepared motion picture images of the Earth's weather over the last month to admiring spectators.

The week-old image to the left corresponds to the surprisingly-heavy flooding in the vicinity of Noosa, the resort town on Australia's east shore.











Africa and Arabia look clear, but there's lots of clouds in the Indian Ocean, and cold fronts march eastwards south of Capetown, South Africa.











Hurricane Dean approaches the Jamaica in the image at left.
