Hurricane Sandy Image
This is a microwave image of Hurricane Sandy prior to landfall taken Oct. 29, 2012 by the U.S. Air Force's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Flight 18. This image shows that the storm had strengthened and developed a partial eyewall prior to landfall. The DMSP mission is to generate terrestrial and space weather data for operational forces worldwide, however the data from this program is also furnished to the civilian community through the Department of Commerce, thus providing more information from which forecasters can better predict pathways and intensity of storms like Hurricane Sandy.
