With the tropics heating up, my non-regular reminder that the Satellite Library houses a TON of high-quality, ready-for-use satellite imagery.

We try to update it as quickly as possible with new and/or particularly interesting views of current storms. satlib.cira.colostate.edu

Never seen it from this perspective and it sort of blew my mind.
