Premium Framed Print : GOES image of Hurricane Elena over Florida
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
GOES image of Hurricane Elena over Florida
Composite image of the Earths cloud patterns on 1 September, 1985, showing Hurricane Elena over the American state of Florida. The image was composed from images taken in visible light (red areas) and in two infrared channels (turquoise areas) by one of the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) satellites. The white areas show bright, moist cloud. DUPE 09 DAMAGED

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring power of Hurricane Elena as it looms over the state of Florida. Taken on 1 September, 1985, this composite image showcases Earth's intricate cloud patterns, with Hurricane Elena dominating the scene. The image was meticulously composed using visible light (depicted in red) and two infrared channels (displayed in turquoise), all captured by one of the GOES satellites. The contrasting colors highlight the intensity and scale of this natural phenomenon. The vibrant red areas represent visible light imagery, allowing us to witness the storm's outer bands and swirling clouds. In contrast, the turquoise areas reveal hidden details through infrared technology, exposing colder cloud tops associated with intense rainfall. The white regions within the composition indicate bright and moist clouds that contribute to Elena's destructive potential. This stunning visual representation offers a unique perspective on our planet's weather systems while emphasizing both their beauty and danger. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library, let us reflect on humanity's continuous efforts to understand and predict such powerful forces of nature. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect vulnerable communities in hurricane-prone regions while appreciating Earth's complex atmospheric dynamics.
