Global temperatures, April 2003
Global temperatures, April 2003. Infrared satellite map of worldwide surface and cloud temperatures in April 2003. The colour-coded map shows temperatures in degrees Celsius, ranging from 40 degrees Celsius (dark red) down to minus 40 degrees Celsius (purple). Features seen here include the deserts of North Africa, warm tropical waters, cold equatorial clouds (yellow band), cloudy temperate regions, and cold polar regions. The data was obtained by the AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) instrument as part of the EOS (Earth Observing System) mission, on NASAs Aqua satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Global temperatures, April 2003" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into our planet's climate patterns. Captured by the AIRS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite as part of the EOS mission, this infrared satellite map showcases worldwide surface and cloud temperatures during that specific month. The color-coded map beautifully illustrates temperature variations in degrees Celsius, ranging from scorching 40 degrees Celsius (depicted in dark red) to bone-chilling minus 40 degrees Celsius (represented by purple hues). The image unveils several remarkable features such as the vast deserts of North Africa, warm tropical waters, a striking yellow band indicating cold equatorial clouds, cloudy temperate regions, and frigid polar areas. Through this visual representation of Earth's climatic conditions in April 2003, we gain valuable insights into our planet's diverse environments. From frozen polar landscapes to arid desert expanses and vibrant tropical zones – each region plays an integral role in shaping global weather systems. As we contemplate this extraordinary photograph taken from space using advanced technology like atmospheric infrared sounders and satellites equipped with thermal imaging capabilities, it serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding our ever-changing climate. This image not only highlights the beauty and complexity of Earth but also underscores the urgency to address pressing issues such as global warming and climate change for a sustainable future.
