A sequence of GOES-16 (GOES-East) Nighttime Microphysics RGB and Day Snow-Fog RGB images (above) showed the nocturnal development of lake effect fog/stratus plumes (lighter shades of yellow), which drifted northward from Lake Sakakawea in northwestern North Dakota on 26 October 2022. Two of the fog/stratus features moved across the Tioga and Stanley areas, where surface... Read More
From today’s inbox: This morning was interesting because I saw very little indication in the vis channel or microphysics RGBs to indicate fog was present over far SW Lower MI this morning. Any thoughts why? When fog is difficult to view in satellite imagery, as on 2 July 2022, it’s... Read More
Some National Data Buoy Center buoys do include webcams that provide sky information (link). How well do those observations compare to IFR Probability fields, as shown above in an image from RealEarth? There are three BuoyCams along the Oregon coastline, as shown in the image below, and 3 more offshore... Read More
GOES-16 and GOES-17 Full-Disk IFR and Low IFR Probability fields are now available in RealEarth. IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) Probability estimates the likelihood that IFR conditions are occurring. You can view and animate real-time satellite IFR probability in RealEarth. ... Read More
