| Description |
NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Hurricane Lane on Aug. 22 at 7:53 a.m. EDT (1153 UTC) and analyzed the storm in infrared light. Infrared light provides temperature data and that's important when trying to understand how strong storms can be. The higher the cloud tops, the colder and the stronger they are. AIRS data showed coldest cloud top temperatures in thunderstorms flaring around the eye were as cold as or colder than minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius). Storms with cloud top temperatures that cold have the capability to produce heavy rainfall.
