This view from NOAA's GOES-East satellite is showing the U.S. via its carbon dioxide (CO2) channel, which estimates the average air temperature of the troposphere and helps us determine the height of clouds. Dark blues and whites show cooler air; yellows and reds, warmer air. | NOAA Satellite and Information Service
