GOES-16 and GOES-17 Full-Disk IFR/Low IFR Probability fields are now available in RealEarth
RealEarth recently added Full Disk versions of IFR Probability and Low IFR Probability products for both GOES East (GOES-16) and GOES West (GOES-17). The animation above shows the simple way to display them: go to the RealEarth site (link), and enter ‘IFR Probability’ into the Search Tool, then drag the GOES-16 or GOES-17 thumbnail onto the globe. GOES-16 and GOES-17 Full Disk imagery typically has a 10-minute cadence. Did you notice in the GOES-17 Full Disk image the signal over the big island of Hawai’i? That’s also shown below, toggling with the GOES-17 ‘Clean Window’ Infrared (10.3 µm) Band 13 image. IFR Probability is highest along the slopes of Hawai’i’s volcanoes; IFR Probability computation does have knowledge of terrain height.
