地球が如何に雲に覆われているかがよくわかります。雲の役割を考えさせられる1枚です。

[Earthview Wonders] No.171: First Earth Photo from Himawari 9

The very first photo JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency)’s Himawari 9 satellite captured was the whole Earth. As the Earth captured by NOAA/NASA’s GOES-16 was introduced with No.170: First Earth Image from GOES-16 yesterday, the whole Earth capturing timing of the two new satellites coincided.

Notice a large area of the Earth is covered with cloud and imagine its role.
