video: An animation of satellite observations shows the progression of Tropical Storm Ernesto Aug. 5-7, 2012. The animation shows Ernesto's progression through the Caribbean Sea and ends as it nears Belize and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. This visualization was created by the NASA GOES Project at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., using observations from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite. *Note Ernesto became a hurricane at 2pm EDT, Aug. 7, soon after this footage* For more information on Tropical Storm Ernesto: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hurricanes/archives/2012/h2012_Ernesto.html view more
