This sequence of Envisat images shows the development and path of Hurricane Gustav on 25 August, 28 August, 30 August and 1 September 2008 (from right to left). Instruments aboard ESA’s Envisat allow it to observe various features of hurricanes, including high atmosphere cloud structure and pressure, wind pattern and currents at sea surface level and oceanic warm features that contribute to the intensification of hurricanes.
