1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-18 (GOES-West) “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) images with an overlay of the Total Precipitable Water derived product (in non-cloudy areas) (above) showed that an axis of moisture was initially in place across all the Samoan Islands — peak TPW values were in excess of 2.0 in (brighter shades of magenta). The axis of... Read More
A sequence of Suomi-NPP VIIRS Visible (0.64) images (above) displayed the cyclonically-curved cloud structure associated with an Arctic low pressure system (surface analyses) located between Alaska and the North Pole on 14 April 2024. A blend of Atmospheric Motion Vectors derived from NOAA-20 and NOAA-21 (below) showed the flow pattern at... Read More
