The Best of CERES
These plots are annual and seasonal means of data obtained from the NASA CERES
scanner instruments onboard the Terra (EOS AM-1) and Aqua (EOS PM-1) satellites during January 2003 through December 2006.
These images are provided by the
Climate Processes Research Group in the
Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the
University of Washington with financial
support from the NASA Office of Earth Sciences through the
Earth Observing System and
Earth Radiation Budget
Experiment projects.
You may use them freely in your lectures, but please give proper credit.
