Combined optical and radar views of Hurricane Katrina
Envisat demonstrates the power of two, with combined optical MERIS and radar ASAR views of the eye of Hurricane Katrina acquired 28 August 2005 over the Gulf of Mexico. The MERIS imagery shows the swirling cloud-tops of the storm, while the ASAR image pierces through the clouds to show the shape of the wind-driven sea surface.
