Re: Can Anybody Name This Storm?

Dang, I should have thought of the Smithsonian. I've been a member forever. Thanks Ken.

Interesting that the second link reports it as a GOES image. As Clark pointed out there wasn't a GOES at that location in 1980. Also I've never seen a GOES from that era with that high a resolution, and never a full planet view. Interesting indeed.

I guess I'll have to call the Air and Space.
