Earth - Global Elevation Model with Satellite Imagery

Digital elevation model of Earth with sunlight positioned to approximately 5/30/12 17:50 UTC. Elevations are exaggerated by 30 times to tease out most of the major terrain features (thus the appearance of clouds being extremely high in the atmosphere). Sources: ETOPO1 Global Relief 1 arc-minute elevation raster data provided by the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center. Satellite imagery provided by the NASA's Earth Observatory Blue Marble project. Global clouds are from the NASA Visible Earth catalog. Rendered using jDem846.
