A toggle between NOAA-20 VIIRS Day/Night Band (0.7 µm) and Infrared Window (11.45 µm) images valid at 0805 UTC or 2:05 AM CST on 12 November 2022 (above) showed a broad plume of lake effect clouds streaming south-southwestward from Lake Nipigon, Ontario (north of Katatota Island, station CWKK) toward Lake Superior. A strong... Read More
1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) Fire Temperature RGB, Shortwave Infrared (3.9 µm), Fire Power derived product and Fire Temperature derived product images (above) showed the thermal signatures associated with a wind-driven grassland fire in north-central South Dakota on 06 November 2022. The Fire Temperature and Fire Power derived products are components of... Read More
1-minute GOES-16 (GOES-East) Mesoscale Domain Sector “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) included time-matched (+/- 4 minutes) plots of SPC Storm Reports — which showed thunderstorms that moved northeastward across parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana during the hours leading up to sunset on 04 November 2022.The corresponding 1-minute GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images ...
