2005 Cruise:

Question of the Day
January 18, 2005

This is an image from the S-pol radar based in Antigua. S-pol radar is sensitive to precipitation but not clouds. The ship is shown on this image, as well as the flight tracks of the research aircraft. Can you identify the different items on the image (islands, ship, flight tracks, clouds)? What good is a map like this for a science experiment?
