Help NASA Identify Hazardous Thunderstorms In Satellite Imagery

Hazardous Thunderstorm Identification

Find hazardous thunderstorms by identifying overshooting cloud tops in satellite images so NASA can develop better ways to detect them. You will examine 2 satellite images of storms: one showing sunlight reflected by clouds in a visible wavelength, another showing color-enhanced cloud temperature in an infrared wavelength. The Field Guide on the right teaches you how to identify overshooting tops in these images. When you have outlined all overshooting tops in a scene, your analysis is complete!
