South Pole Satellite
For those that follow this mess, these satellites should be fairly obvious. The direct light of Sol is moving into the Southern Hemisphere. The sunlight is at an angle but returning just the same. The jet stream is meandering without much interference at the high atitudes, while the turbulence of returning sunlight, causing rising and falling air, is obvious on the Surface Winds Satellite. The other 'obvious' feature to be noted with the South Pole Satellite above. The vortexes are still present as they have been, but, are at much lower latitudes than previous. As a matter of fact they are beginning to land on Antarctica, but, with diminished vorticity because the ICE continent is still very, very cold and able to 'blunt' the dynamics of those systems.
