1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) showed thunderstorms that produced a variety of severe weather (SPC Storm Reports) across the Deep South on 16 December 2019. Numerous overshooting tops could be seen with these storms.GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images (below) indicated that many of the overshooting tops exhibited brightness temperatures...

1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images (above) showed thunderstorms that produced tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds (SPC storm reports) in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area after sunset on 20 October 2019. One of the tornadoes produced EF-3 damage in North Dallas.In a larger-scale view of GOES-16 Infrared images (below), other thunderstorms were... 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 thunderstorms that developed along a fast-moving cold front, producing a swath of damaging winds (SPC storm reports) across southern Idaho on 19 October 2019.5-minute GOES-17 Mid-level Water Vapor (6.9 µm) images (below) displayed signatures of a jet stream and shortwave trough...

Researchers from NOAA and UW-CIMSS have developed an experimental model that predicts the “probability of intense convection” inferred from GOES ABI and GLM fields. The model is a convolutional neural network, which carries the assumption that the inputs are images and have spatial context. It is a great tool for image... Read More
