Sandy's CT Scan, and Other Vital Images

Owen Kelley, a research scientist at NASA Goddard, works with data from the TRMM satellite to image the insides of storms. TRMM looked into the eye of Sandy the day before it made landfall and saw something surprising. Satellites also took snapshots of Sandy. J. Marshall Shepherd, president-elect of the American Meteorological Society and the director of the Atmospheric Sciences Program at the University of Georgia, explains some of Sandy's unusual features.

The back and forth voice overs between the two voices was very distracting

No it wasn't, you are retarded.

Yes, it's called military espionage and those mentioning it are breaking the law.

funny how there is alot of weird activity going at the location of haarp stated by proffesionals

Do you realize the size of a hurricane and how much power is in it? There is no power grid large enough to even kick-start a tiny storm anywhere in the world.

Illiterate shmuck.

At 0:08, "We have these satellites that give us CAT-scans for hurricanes."

That nigga should've said that with a mic and should have included: "Fuck yeah science!" *drops mic*

Sandy was created by USA's own HAARP

Could we let the NASA scientists speak for themselves, instead of splicing their half sentences? The silliest such error here is that the Greenland ice cap melted in four days last summer. A bubble of warm air only pushed the graphic's red area above freezing; most of what melted just refroze four days later. It's happned every 150 years for the last 10,000 years. The NASA scientist know all this, but the reporter doesn't get how preposterous it is that so much ice could melt in four days.
