Real-time
- Comparisons of real-time GOES Sounder TPW with other sensors:
- GOES and
MODIS comparisons of TPW from CIMSS.
- GOES and
GPS comparisons of TPW from NOAA/ESRL (standard tool).
- GOES and
GPS comparisons of TPW from NOAA/ESRL (Kirk Holub development page).
- Real-time examples of experimental developments with GOES Sounder data:
- Comparing GOES observed versus CRAS forecast imagery
( N
Cen US IR or NE
Pac WV).
- Comparing TPW, LI, and CTP DPI from different versions of GOES Sounder processing
(for larger scale US
East of Rockies, or zoom over
Central Plains or
Western US).
- Comparing TPW, LI, and CTP DPI from an overview perspective of 'research-to-operations',
including the GFS first-guess (for larger scale
US East of Rockies, or zoom over
Central Plains).
Or, comparing (as with the previous overview) including MODIS DPI (in place of the OPDB DPI).
- Comparing TPW and CTP DPI between versions, including DPI image differences
(for larger scale
US East of Rockies, or zoom to greater
Wisconsin region).
- Comparing CIMSS DPI versions (at 3 km eff res) of
TPW,
LI, or
other images
zoomed over North Cen US.
- Comparing CIMSS DPI versions (at 3 km eff res) of
TPW,
LI, or
other images
zoomed over South Cen US.
- Comparing CIMSS DPI versions (at 3 km eff res) of
TPW,
LI, or
other images
zoomed over SouthWest US.
- Comparing CIMSS DPI versions (at 5 km eff res) of
TPW,
LI, or
other images
zoomed over East US.
