CALIPSO and CloudSat over Typhoon Yutu
Typhoon Yutu near the coast of Japan on October 28, 2018. Data from the CALIPSO lidar and CloudSat radar appear as vertical slices in the atmosphere. CALIPSO lidar data is visualized as a bluish slice, with red and yellow colors denoting more scattering off of clouds and aerosols. CloudSat radar data is superimposed on the CALIPSO slice in brighter colors.

Ash from the Kilauea Eruption On May 6, 2018, at approximately 11 a.m. local time, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on NASA's Terra satellite captured this view of the island as it passed overhead. Much of the island was shrouded by clouds, including the fissure on its eastern point. However, an eruption plume is visible streaming southwest over the ocean. The MISR instrument is unique in that it has nine cameras that view Earth at different angles: one pointing downward, four at various angles in the forward direction, and four in the backward direction. This image shows the view from one of MISR's forward-pointing cameras (60 degrees), which shows the plume more distinctly than the near-vertical views.

The Aoba volcano located on Ambae, one of the Vanuatu Island chain in the SW Pacific, began showing heightened activity on August 30, 2017. This image shows a Terra/MODIS image from Worldview taken March 16, 2018 of a Multi-Angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) observed plume reaching ~5km. Accurate plume heights are needed to determine the influence of volcanic eruptions, but are difficult to obtain due to the hazardous nature of volcanic eruptions. Stereo images from NASA's MISR make it possible to retrieve plume height in ongoing eruptions using  parallax.
