NOAA’s satellites can occasionally catch icebergs floating in the ocean if they are large enough. The unassuming white blob in this image was actually the largest iceberg in the world as of November 2020—about the size of Delaware.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: NOAA’s satellites can occasionally catch icebergs floating in the ocean if they are large enough. The unassuming white blob in this image was actually the largest iceberg in the world as of November 2020—about the size of Delaware. The GOES-16 satellite captured this 'berg—officially named A-68A –as it was moving through the southern Atlantic Ocean. The coloring in this imagery looks different because it is utilizing an image product called Day Snow/Cloud Layers, which combines six different bands on the satellite’s Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument to help distinguish clouds from snow and ice. By doing this, snow/ice appears as white, low moisture-rich clouds appear yellowish-green, and high cirrus clouds appear pink.
