Impressive, Colorful QuikScat View of 94E

Just noticed this new image on the Navy/NRL site.

It's a direct passover by the Quick Scatterometer satellite.

Wikipedia article with nice photo of the 'aging' Quick Scatterometer satellite that was the focus of so much controversy last year.

The circulation is becoming very symmetrical, despite what the visual satellite presentation currently shows.

Certainly looks like it's getting it's act together quite nicely. 30+ Kt. winds in all quads, and TS force barbs (rain contaminated) in the SE quad. Can you say TD-2E ??

Thought I'd share this little piece of "eye candy" with you before I sign off. Enjoy!
