Severe thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours over eastern Colorado on 06 June 2012<\/strong><\/a>, which were responsible for a number of tornadoes in addition to widespread large hail and damaging winds (SPC storm reports<\/strong><\/a>). An AWIPS image of 1-km resolution POES AVHRR 12.0 \u00c2\u00b5m IR channel data (above)<\/strong><\/em> showed a very pronounced “enhanced-V” storm top signature, with many of the severe weather reports located near the vertex of the enhanced-V.<\/p>\n

A comparison of 1-km resolution POES AVHRR Cloud Top Temperature (CTT), Cloud Top Height (CTH), and Cloud Type products is shown below. The CTT cold\/warm thermal couplet associated with the enhanced-V signature was -74 C\/-55 C; the CTH values for the majority of the cirrus canopy were 13 km (12 km within the “warm spot” region of the enhanced-V)<\/em>; and the Cloud Type for the majority of the cirrus canopy was Overshooting (violet color enhancement),<\/em> with the “Thick Ice” classification (yellow enhancement)<\/em> within the warm region of the enhanced-V.<\/p>\n

A comparison of the 1-km resolution POES 12.0 \u00c2\u00b5m IR image with the corresponding 4-km resolution GOES-15 10.7 \u00c2\u00b5m IR image (below)<\/strong><\/em> demonstrated the advantage of improved spatial resolution for detecting the more subtle aspects of the enhanced-V feature. Also note that the enhanced-V feature is displaced to the north and east on the GOES-15 image, due to the problem of parallax<\/strong><\/a> associated with the large viewing angle from the GOES-West satellite.<\/p>\n
