NOAA-10 visible-light image of the East Coast at 8AM this morning.  You
can see some clouds that are affected by the Appalachian Mountains.

NOAA-11 visible-light image of the Northeastern US and Canada yesterday

NOAA-10 channel 3 infrared image of the Atlantic Ocean and East Coast of
the US (although the coast is hidden by clouds), showing some
interesting patterns of ocean currents.  This picture doesn't show up as
well on a Sun color monitor as it does on a VGA (the Sun seems to have
trouble with the darker areas of the picture).  If you have a display
with brightness and contrast controls, turn up the brightness fairly far
and adjust the contrast so the darker areas off the coast are visible,
and you should be able to see the ocean currents.

These are two pictures sent to me by Oliver Eisman of the University of
New Mexico SEDS.  They are currently setting up a ground station using
my WEFAX recording software, and these are some early test images.  I am
not sure of the date and time.  The Grand Canyon is visible in the upper
left corner of the images.  They were recorded from Meteor 3-3's visible
light mode.
