A comparison of AWIPS images of the 1-km resolution MODIS 0.65 µm “visible channel” and a corresponding MODIS false-color Red/Green/Blue (RGB) composite (created using the 0.65 µm “visible channel” and the 2.1 µm near-IR “snow/ice” channels) showed the utility of such RGB images... Read More

Nocturnal radiation fog formed over Lake Mendota (the largest of the 4 lakes in the immediate vicinity of Madison, Wisconsin) on 02 November 2010 — the evolution and motion of this fog was captured by a northwest-facing camera (above; smaller 640×480 version) mounted on the... Read More

AWIPS images showing comparisons of the 4-km resolution GOES-13 fog/stratus product with the 1-km resolution MODIS fog/stratus product (above) and also the 1-km resolution POES AVHRR fog/stratus product (below) offer further demonstration of the importance of improved spatial resolution for the detection of the small-scale filaments of valley fog that were...

AWIPS images of the night-time 4-km resolution GOES-13 fog/stratus product and the daytime 1-km resolution GOES-13 visible images (above) showed two features of interest on 27 September 2010: (1) narrow fingers of river valley fog forming during the overnight hours — and then... Read More
