Floods in the U.S. Midwest
Title Floods in the U.S. Midwest
Description *Floods in the U.S. Midwest* Heavy rain and snow on January 4 and 5, 2004, have left swollen rivers throughout the U.S. Midwest. Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky are shown in these false-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) images where water is black, vegetation is green, and clouds are white and peach. In the top image, taken on January 7, 2004, by the Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite, the Ohio, Wabash, and White Rivers are noticeably wider compared to an image acquired just one week earlier. The Ohio and the Wabash Rivers form a ?v? in the center of the image, with the Ohio River on the south. Near the top of the image, the White River branches off of the Wabash River. Other area rivers also appear to be fuller. The states affected by the floods include Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. According to news reports, the flood waters are covering mostly farmland, though houses and roads were also flooded. Cold temperatures followed the storm, making clean-up difficult. The high-resolution images provided above have a resolution of 500 meters per pixel.

First Big Snow in the East
Title First Big Snow in the East
Description A series of two storms charged out of the Mid-West and into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast between December 4 and 7, 2003, dumping the first big snow of the season on the Eastern United States. As much as three feet of snow fell in parts of the northeast, with lesser amounts spread across the Mid-Atlantic. This pair of images shows the snowy trail left by the storm across (top row, left to right) Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, and (bottom row) West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. The images were captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite on December 7, 2003. The top image scene combines the sensor?s observations in the infrared and near-infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum with observations in the visible (the part our eyes can see) to better separate clouds from snow. Snow appears red, snow-free ground appears green, clouds appear peach, and water is black. The bottom true-color image looks more like what would be natural to our eyes.

Title Tropical Storm Bertha in the Gulf of Mexico
Description Remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha dumped heavy rains across parts of Louisiana and Mississippi on August 5, 2002. As much as 6.73 inches of rain fell in Pascagoula, Miss., according to news reports. Meanwhile, another tropical depression formed off the coast of South Carolina on Aug. 5 and is gathering strength. As of Aug. 6, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, just 4 mph short of becoming a tropical storm, and was moving slowly eastward. If it continues to intensify, it will become Tropical Storm Cristobol. Elsewhere in this scene, a widespread pall of haze can be seen spanning from Arkansas and Missouri across Tennessee and Kentucky, and into Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland. Many of these regions received Code Red air quality warnings. Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Land Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC

Title Winter Storm Slams North Carolina and Virginia
Description A post-Christmas winter storm brought ice and snow to South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, closing Interstate 95, stranding motorists and airline passengers, and knocking out power to more than 20,000 households. This image captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite on December 27, 2004, shows the aftermath of the storm, a white swath of snow stretching from the southern edge of North Carolina, through Virginia, and across the Chesapeake Bay into Maryland and Delaware. The snow highlights the Great Dismal Swamp, which straddles the state line between Virginia and North Carolina. In the upper left corner, snow covers the mountainous terrain of West Virginia. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at additional resolutions.

Winter Storms Across the Eas …
Title Winter Storms Across the Eastern United States
Description Severe winter storms across much of the eastern half of the United States slowed travelers, closed schools and businesses, and knocked out electricity. According to the National Weather Service, a major ice storm coated North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia with a thick layer of ice on January 27, 2004. Ice up to an inch thick prompted South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford to declare a state of emergency. Icy power lines resulted in power outages for about 338,000 customers throughout North and South Carolina and Georgia. The storm later moved into Virginia and Maryland, where ice glazed several inches of snow that fell the previous day. To the north, heavy snow began to fall on January 27, and continued to inundate the southern New England States on January 28, when this image was taken. This false-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) image shows ice and snow in shades of red and orange. Darker red areas are aligned with those areas that received ice storms. The lighter red and orange areas show where snow covers the ground. Ice in the clouds over Pennsylvania appears peach, while water clouds are white. Vegetation is bright green. Streaks of red in the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays show where ice has formed near the shore. The states shown in this image include, from the top right corner, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite acquired this image at 10:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern time (15:30 UTC) on January 28, 2004. The high-resolution image provided above has a resolution of 500 meters per pixel. The image is available in additional resolutions [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?2004028-0128/EastCoast.A2004028.1530.367 ], including MODIS' maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel.
