About that Image going around?

huh, NO a Satellite CANNOT, "SEE" and take a clear Image picture, as posted on the Storm Mode thread..

(Showing the flooded parts of the Island)..

Sorry ya'll are DUPED again..

 Most satellites can't.

As the graph (below) shows, clouds reflect visible and infrared light quite well. In fact, visible light (approx. 0.4-0.7 microns in length) is more than 70% reflected by clouds! That means the light can't penetrate the cloud on the way down to earth, let alone penetrate the cloud on its way back up (satellites look down at angles ranging from 0-30 degrees) in order for the sensor to capture it.

Thank you for letting me know that google maps is fake news. I'll have to make sure those planes that fly over my house are just spreading harmless chemtrails then instead of taking pictures.

Congratulations on googling "can satellites see through clouds"

 

However, active sensors like sentinel and radarsat use active radar that doesn't interact with water vapor and can see through to the earth's surface  at a very high resolution (1M - 100M) which is why they can used to chart polar sea ice, land use, etc.

posts about mdecoy's fleshlight really changed your mind, huh?

Obviously.

My favorite so far are the random font changes, capitalizations, hyphenations and other grammatical oddities in the SENC posts.

It's like he's a living and breathing email FWD that I would get from my grandfather before he passed away.

Well according to the Matthew thread, he's been watching hurricanes for 40 years so that's right about the "get off my lawn" phase of life.
