Transverse banding around a decaying MCS
A comparison of Aqua MODIS Visible (0.65 µm), Near-Infrared “Cirrus” (1.37 µm), Water Vapor (6.7 µm) and Infrared Window (11.0 µm) images (above) showed widespread transverse banding along the northern and eastern periphery of a decaying Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) that was moving from Iowa into Illinois and Missouri on 14 June 2018.GOES-16 (GOES-East) Near-Infrared “Cirrus” (1.37 µm), Mid-level Water Vapor (6.9 µm) and “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) images with pilot reports of turbulence are shown below.
