A comparison of AWIPS images of MODIS 0.65 µm visible channel data and a MODIS false-color Red/Green/Blue (RGB) image (created using the MODIS 0.65 µm visible and the 2.1 µm snow/ice channel images) revealed a swath of snow cover from southwestern Virginia all... Read More

McIDAS images of GOES-13 0.63 µm visible channel data (above) showed the presence of long, narrow swaths of brighter white snow cover oriented from southwest to northeast across parts of Missouri and Illinois (as well as a broader swath of more significant snow cover across Kentucky) on the morning of...

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

A strong cyclone was located over the northern portion of Hudson Bay, Canada on 18 November 2010 — and McIDAS images of GOES-13 0.63 µm visible channel data (above) showed the formation of widespread cloud bands due to very cold arctic air flowing... Read More
