Media Resources

This page exists to provide members of the media with broadcast, print and web-quality imagery created by the OSEI team of particularly significant or newsworthy environmental events which are visible in satellite data available to us.

The only annotation which will be provided on a consistent basis is the NOAA logo, satellite information header and political / coastal overlays.

This page will soon include an archive of past OSEI Media Events and an area where you can submit feedback about the page.

We occasionally create "Special Coverage" pages that follow particularly significant events and "Best of OSEI" pages which showcase some of our more striking imagery . Links to these and other features of our site are listed below.

  • OSEI Special Coverage: Hurricane Mitch (1998)
  • OSEI Special Coverage: Eruptions of Guagua Pichincha (1999)
  • OSEI Special Coverage: Iraq Imagery (2003-2004)
