Massive shoutout to our web developer for making this look amazing and making it so quickly.
My last offering while at CIRA...
A new toy on the Satellite Library: satlib.cira.colostate.edu/media-archive/.
It's a random imagery button that will take you to something new every time you click it. Enjoy!
Thanks man! Always enjoyed checking out the fun stuff you had your eye on.
An impressive view of the tornadic supercell that produced massive hail in Illinois earlier today.
I perhaps was too vague... my bad. But the satellite imagery will keep flowing just maybe a little differently.
And re: next steps... exciting things to come soon!
thanks Becky!
well that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me - thank you!
TBA!
I will just note, because of the current climate we're in, this is not due to any sort of broader layoff or anything.
thank you!
Well dang. This week marks the end of my time at @cira-csu.bsky.social.
It has been an amazing six years and I'm incredibly proud of the work the team has accomplished. Excited to watch their future success.
A few of my favorite images I made over the last few years:
Our Earth produces some simply beautiful swirls.
I found this one today in the Southern Pacific (and had some fun with it).
An incredibly cool thunderstorm complex in the Gulf yesterday.
Oodles of lightning and some rotation.
Very neat to see @cira-csu.bsky.social imagery featured in the Hurricane Melissa report!
my goodness.
except make the new imagery not look like it was taken by a geostationary potato
A stunning satellite shot of a powerful nor'easter.
A bit of a lightning show tonight within a raging nor'easter.

If I had to make a pro/con list for ever moving back East... one of THE biggest pros would be experiencing east coast snowstorms.
I yearn for bands of heavy snow.
All sorts of cool, crazy things happening at the heart of a deepening nor'easter.
Found some cool clouds.
Thought you'd like them.
Super interesting lofted ash plume today on the Ranger Road Fire burn scar.
This looks 1000x better without compression so I recommend viewing here:

north atlantic, today
Into The Low.
The Ranger Road Fire in Oklahoma burns brightly at night among city lights.
Imagery captured early this morning by NOAA-20.
In the last twenty-four hours, a powerful winter storm has dropped between 1 to 3 feet of snow in Sierra Nevada.
The heavy snow exacerbated conditions for dangerous avalanches, especially in the Lake Tahoe region where the heaviest snowfall occurred.
A dramatic scene of dust, fire, and smoke in the Plains today.
