1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) and “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images (above) showed Tropical Storm Bertha as it moved inland across South Carolina on 27 May 2020. The clusters of deep convection rapidly dissipated after landfall, revealing the low-level circulation. Bertha did produce heavy rainfall and high winds.A GMI Microwave (85 GHz) image at 1416 UTC from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones... Read More
1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) and “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images (above) showed training and back-building thunderstorms that produced very heavy rainfall and flash flooding across parts of South Florida — particularly in the Miami (KMIA) area — on 26 May 2020. Pulsing overshooting tops were evident, with cloud-top infrared brightness temperatures... Read More
1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-17 (GOES-West) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) and “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images (above) showed the circulation of Tropical Invest 90E in the East Pacific Ocean on 24 April 2020. The low-level circulation center appeared to be located about 100 miles southwest of the 18 UTC surface analysis position.GOES-17 Visible... Read More
Tropical Cyclone Harold made landfall on Vanuatu’s largest island of Espiritu Santo as a Category 4 storm (ADT | SATCON) on 05 April 2020. JMA Himawari-8 Infrared Window (10.4 µm) images (above) showed the emergence of a well defined eye — which exhibited some trochoidal motion. Cloud-top infrared brightness temperatures... Read More
