Comparisons of NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP VIIRS Day/Night Band (0.7 µm) and “Fog Product” Infrared Brightness Temperature Difference images (above) showed the nighttime formation of river valley fog in parts of the Mississippi River and its tributaries in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa on 28 June 2018. Due to ample illumination... Read More

The only Supermoon of 2017 occurred on 03 December — and a composite of Suomi NPP VIIRS Day/Night Band (0.7 µm) swaths viewed using RealEarth (above) demonstrated the “visible image at night” capability of that spectral band. A VIIRS instrument is also part of the payload on recently-launched JPSS-1/NOAA-20.A few... Read More
* GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testing *With high pressure dominating across the region during the pre-dawn nighttime hours (surface analyses), strong radiational cooling (minimum temperatures) aided in the formation of widespread valley fog across New England on 28 October 2017. Post-sunrise GOES-16 “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images... Read More
