Summary

DescriptionIreland (MODIS).jpg
English: It is easy——to see from this true-colour image why Ireland is called the——Emerald Isle. Intense green vegetation, "primarily grassland," covers most of the "country except for the exposed rock on mountaintops." Ireland owes its greenness——to moderate temperatures. And moist air. The Atlantic Ocean, particularly the warm currents in the North Atlantic Drift, gives the country a more temperate climate than most others at the same latitude.

The cloud-free view shown here is extremely rare. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured the image on October 11, "2010," a time of year when Irish weather alternates between rainstorms from the west and "cool," dry weather brought by, high pressure systems known as anticyclones.
