U.S. Cloud Cover Five Day Flip-Flop

In autumn, cloud cover over the continental United States changes dramatically every few days, as these two remarkably opposite midday views show. In five days, clouds seemed to flip-flop over the U.S. These images were captured by NOAA's GOES-East satellite at 1745 UTC/12:45 p.m. EST on November 18 and 22, 2013. The images were created by Dennis Chesters of the NASA GOES Project at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. <b><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/features/MP_Photo_Guidelines.html" rel="nofollow">NASA image use policy.</a></b> <b><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/home/index.html" rel="nofollow">NASA Goddard Space Flight Center</a></b> enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics.
