SORCE Monitors Solar Variability during Record Solar Flares

Title	SORCE Monitors Solar Variability during Record Solar Flares
Abstract	The SORCE mission monitors solar variability to determine its impact on the Earth's climate. The X-ray photometer aboard SORCE observes the record-breaking solar flares in the Fall of 2003. The line graph shows the photometer's measured solar radiation flux in the 1-7 nanometer wavelength band (x-ray) measured in milliwatts per square meter. The ultraviolet (195 Angstrom) imagery from SOHO/EIT (green) illustrates where the flares (the bright white spots) are located on the solar disk.

2003 California Fire Sequence as Seen by MODIS

Title	2003 California Fire Sequence as Seen by MODIS
Abstract	This visualization shows the progression of the southern California fires of October 2003. Visible MODIS imagery from Aqua and Terra are used as well as thermal data to show fire locations. Active fires for particular days are shown in red, fires that are no longer actve are shown in black (highlighting the 'burn scar').

Gravity Waves Ripple over Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

Title	Gravity Waves Ripple over Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Description	In this natural-color image from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), a fingerprint-like gravity wave feature occurs over a deck of marine stratocumulus clouds. Similar to the ripples that occur when a pebble is thrown into a still pond, such "gravity waves" sometimes appear when the relatively stable and stratified air masses associated with stratocumulus cloud layers are disturbed by a vertical trigger from the underlying terrain, or by a thunderstorm updraft or some other vertical wind shear. The stratocumulus cellular clouds that underlie the wave feature are associated with sinking air that is strongly cooled at the level of the cloud-topssuch clouds are common over mid-latitude oceans when the air is unperturbed by cyclonic or frontal activity. This image is centered over the Indian Ocean (at about 38.9° South, 80.6° East), and was acquired on October 29, 2003. The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer observes the daylit Earth continuously and every 9 days views the entire globe between 82° north and 82° south latitude. The MISR Browse Image Viewer [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/redirect?http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/MISRBR/ ] provides access to low-resolution true-color versions of these images. These data products were generated from a portion of the imagery acquired during Terra orbit 20545. The image covers an area of 245 kilometers x 378 kilometers, and uses data from blocks 121 to 122 within World Reference System-2 path 134. Image courtesy NASA/GSFC/LaRC/JPL, MISR Team.

Title	Fires in Southern California
Description	On October 29, 2003, a shift in the winds over the Southwest U.S. sent smoke from the California wildfires (marked in red at left) northeastward to Nevada and eastward to Arizona. This Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image is from the Terra satellite on the afternoon of Oct. 29. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS? maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters. Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC

The stratocumulus cellular clouds that underlie the wave feature are associated with sinking air that is strongly cooled at the level of the cloud-tops -- such clouds are common over mid-latitude oceans when the air is unperturbed by cyclonic or frontal activity.
