GOES-17 IFR Probability Fields in Testing at CIMSS

GOES-17 IFR Probability fields are being evaluated at CIMSS (the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies), with a plan to release them to the field via an LDM request in the near future. The toggle above compares GOES-16 IFR Probability and GOES-17 IFR Probability for the same time over central California. Differences in resolution and parallax shifts are apparent (You can investigate the effect of parallax in a WebApp here). A similar comparison is shown for Oregon, below, and for Washington, at bottom. GOES-17 IFR Probability fields for CONUS are also available at this website.
