Geo2grid software accesses SatPy libraries that allow for the reading of level-1c netcdf files holding FCI (Flexible Combined Imager) data from the latest operational Meteosat satellite (Meteosat-12). So if you can access to that output, you can create beautiful images as the ones shown above. The RGB shows a storm... Read More

1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) Red Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) showed a long, narrow convective cloud band associated with a strong cold front that was moving southward and southeastward across New York and Pennsylvania on 29th January 2025. Strong winds coupled with moderate-to-heavy snow along this cloud band prompted the issuance of numerous... Read More

A view of the continental United States surface map shows that overall, there is very weak synoptic forcing across the south, which results in calm winds and little mixing or advection.... Read More

Night Microphysics RGB imagery from the CSPP Geosphere site (link) show the blossoming of high clouds (deep red in the RGB) north of the Samoan Islands, clouds that subsequently sag southward. Careful inspection of the animation also shows clouds that are more pink than deep red; these are likely mid-level... Read More
