The toggle above includes nocturnal visible Suomi NPP VIIRS Day Night Band (0.7 µm) imagery over New England after a strong storm (blogged here), compared with a reference image from 04 October 2017. The primary nighttime light source for the Day Night Band over land on 31 October was cities... Read More
* GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testing *GOES-16 Mid-level Water Vapor (6.9 µm) images with hourly surface weather symbols plotted in red (above) showed the large-scale evolution of a storm system that deepened rapidly as it moved across the Northeast US during the...

* GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testing *The ABI “Cirrus” (1.37 µm) band is centered in a strong water vapor absorption spectral region — therefore it does not routinely sense the lower troposphere, where there is usually substantial amounts of water vapor. Hence, its... Read More
* GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testing *With high pressure dominating across the region during the pre-dawn nighttime hours (surface analyses), strong radiational cooling (minimum temperatures) aided in the formation of widespread valley fog across New England on 28 October 2017. Post-sunrise GOES-16 “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images... Read More
