May 23, 2005. This is the Pacific Global Satellite. I am sure this seems strange place to start, but, the strength to the troposphere before Summer Vacation kicked in was this satellite. Relatively quiet compared to the rest of the planet. Well defined equator. The peripheral vortex of the Antarctica Vortex was 'cooler' than has been the state of things as of late. Somewhat hopeful picture considering the heat budget up north and the higher carbon dioxide level there. There was noted the new disposition of 'heat hurricanes' in the center of North American Continent.
