NASA is developing new ways to process satellite data to get actionable insights into hazardous weather conditions, like tornadoes and hailstorms.

This information can help provide a more complete picture of storm damage, enabling better informed decisions during emergency response and recovery.

[NASA Langley Research Center @NASALangley]

In the wake of the tornadoes that struck the Southeastern U.S. March 14-16, NASA Langley researchers supported by the NASA Disasters Program, mapped potential severe weather by observing patterns in the storm-tops using @NOAA GOES satellite data. https://t.co/b6cdyKoanU

This animation shows Hurricane #Milton before, during, and after it passed over Florida.

Brightness temperature images like these can show the tops of storm clouds during the day and night, even when there is not enough visible light to capture natural-color images.
