GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images which include plots of GOES-16 Derived Motion Winds within the Suface-900 hPa layer (above) showed the eastward transport of several ice floes from the northern portion of Green Bay into Lake Michigan on 30 January 2023. Surface wind gusts and Derived Motion Wind speeds were generally in the... Read More
An animation of the Day Cloud Type RGB over Lake Superior on 30 January 2023, above, shows two prominent features: persistent lake-effect bands oriented west-northwest to east-southeast over the western four-fifths of the Lake (station KCMX on the Keewenaw peninsula, for example, observed heavy snow during this animation), and a more north-south oriented convergence band that extends from the eastern Upper Peninsula of...

GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) include plots of GOES-16 Derived Motion Winds (DMW) within the 775-900 hPa and the 900 hPa-Surface layers — which displayed a rapidly-intensifying area of low pressure (surface analyses) over the West Atlantic Ocean (south of Nova Scotia, Canada) on 12 December 2022. Note the area of haziness just... Read More
1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) True Color RGB images from the CSPP GeoSphere site (above) showed blowing dust (shades of tan) along and in the wake of a strong cold front that was moving southward across the High Plains on 02 December 2022.A Suomi-NPP VIIRS True Color RGB image valid at 1905...
