GOES-16 (GOES-East) Air Mass RGB images (above) include plots of time-matched Local Storm Reports — which showed some of the impacts of a deep low pressure system (surface analyses) that moved northeastward across the Tennessee and Ohio Valley on 03 March 2023. A Mesoscale Domain Sector was positioned over part of that area — and 1-minute... Read More
Overlapping 1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sectors provided GOES-16 (GOES-East) images at 30-second intervals from all 16 of the ABI spectral bands (above), which displayed the northeast-moving warm thermal signature of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster as the Crew-6 Mission was launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 0534 UTC (12:34...

GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) showed strong southwesterly winds ahead of an approaching cold front, causing areas of blowing dust across parts of New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma on 22 February 2023. Strongest wind gusts were in the 60-70 mph range, and blowing dust was reducing the surface visibility to... Read More
GOES-18 (GOES-West) Air Mass RGB images during the 15-19 February 2023 period (above) displayed the migration of a Kona Low from north of the main Hawaiian Island chain on 15 February toward Johnston Island on 19 February. The MIMIC Total Precipitable Water product (below) showed that the circulation of this Kona Low helped to draw... Read More
