Join us in congratulating Dr. Walker on her well-deserved retirement. Thanks to @LSU_CCE for the celebration. Her leadership at the Earth Scan Lab and work with @GCOOS1 leaves a lasting impact. We’re proud to carry forward her legacy at ESL.

One year ago today, skies cleared across Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, allowing ESL’s MODIS true-color product to capture the aftermath of a rare and historic winter snowfall across the region. @LSU_CCE

🌪️ We witnessed the Fujiwhara effect as Humberto and Imelda interacted in the Atlantic. #FujiwharaEffect #HurricaneHumberto #HurricaneImelda #Humberto #Imelda @LSU_CCE

Two hurricanes are now spinning in the Atlantic — Humberto and Imelda. A rare double feature this hurricane season

Humberto remains a powerful Cat 4 hurricane in the Atlantic; Imelda is expected to intensify into a hurricane by Tuesday before tracking east. 🌪️

Earth Scan Lab is tracking Invest 94L in the Atlantic. This graphic shows the latest GEFS ensemble forecast. If named, it would become Imelda.

ESL produces true-color satellite images of the entire Gulf of Mexico coastline daily, including southern Louisiana. Check them out here below https://t.co/7L9418GbpY

On January 21, 2025, Louisiana experienced a rare prolonged snowfall event with blizzards and extreme cold temperatures.. This MODIS true-color satellite image was produced at the LSU Earth Scan Laboratory (ESL) from measurements obtained January 22 (10:10 CDT).

Today’s eclipse, as seen from space; specifically the GOES-16 geostationary satellite. It scans this hemisphere view every 10 minutes (!). Here, 3 channels are combined to reproduce RGB color over about 5 hours.

Thanks @GCOOS1 for posting! Let’s all hope for a quiet #hurricane season despite these conditions!

[GCOOS @GCOOS1]

One of the drivers for hurricane intensification in the #GulfofMexico is the Loop Current. The #EarthScanLaboratory at @LSU_Boon captured great satellite images of the current drawing warm Caribbean water into the northern Gulf. Learn more https://t.co/jxRTVr5xdB

GOES-16 image shows winter storm "Maya" blanketing the eastern United States with snow, ice, and rain. Forecasters are already talking about "Nadia" (out of view) approaching the west coast, expected to bring more wintery weather. @LSU_CCE @LSUResearch
