 | The Greenland Ice Cap with remarkable low level convective cloudiness. TIROS VII, pass 4365/4364, camera 1, frame 13. Picture of the Month, "Monthly Weather Review," April 1966. Credit: NOAA in Space. |  | Intense low-level convection over the Gulf of Mexico as extremely cold air flows over warmer Gulf of Mexico waters. Very narrow parallel cloud bands begin near the northern shore and become much larger convective elements to the south. TIROS X photograph, pass 3039/3038, camera 1, frame 7.

 | Warm rings show clearly breaking off the Gulf Stream and migrating onto the continental shelf off of the Mid-Atlantic states. Convective cloud activity is seen east of Cape Cod and south of Cape Hatteras. Credit: NOAA in Space. |  | Sector of GOES full disk composite infrared and visible image indicates areas of high convection and potentially violent weather. A tornado occurred at Paris in the lower left corner of the cloud in Texas. In this image, the infra-red sensor is actually measuring the temperature of very cold cloud tops which is a sign of major convective activity and dangerous weather. Credit: NOAA in Space. |
