Every now and again, there is a superb view of parts of the British Isles
from the fantastic MODIS site. Today is no exception and I have cropped
the 12.50Z image and enhanced the brightness a lot, as the land appears so
dark at this time of year. The contrast between the gloom in the south and
the clear weather in the north is obvious, as are the shadows of this cloud
on land just to the north.


Thank you for that excellent new background piccie!

Just by the distance of the shadows projected onto the land you can
appreciate the height difference between the cloud to the south and
the convective cloud further north. Fascinating stuff!
