Movie 5. Demonstration of MIMIC-IR for
Hurricane Wilma (2005) from 0000 UTC 20 October to 1200 UTC 22 October.
The infrared layer is the GOES-12 longwave infrared brightness
temperature, adjusted for parallax assuming cloudtops at 15 km and
matched to the nearest display time. The PCT layer is semitransparent
over the infrared layer, and it is corrected for parallax assuming a
signal peak at 7 km in height. The semitransparent PCT layer allows
breaks in the cloud cap to be seen as a darkening of PCT colors. Solid
yellow areas are "no microwave data" regions. The microwave PCT later
is created from 16 microwave overpasses.
