Unsettled Weather Across Central Australia
In late July 2013, a low pressure system off Australia’s southeast coast and
moist onshore winds combined to create unsettled weather across central
Australia – and a striking image of a broad cloud band across the stark winter
landscape.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra
satellite captured this true-color image on July 22 at 01:05 UTC (10:35 a.m.
Australian Central Standard Time). To the west of the low pressure trough the
skies are clear and dry. To the east, the broad band of bright white clouds
obscures the landscape. The system brought wind, precipitation and cooler
temperatures to the region.
