An example from 21 July 2017 is shown above, for an isolated\u00a0thunderstorm that developed during the afternoon hours along a residual convective outflow boundary — which was evident on an animation<\/strong><\/a> of “Red” Visible (0.64 \u00b5m<\/strong><\/a>) imagery — draped across eastern Iowa. This storm produced 1.0-inch diameter hail and damaging winds within 7-22 minutes after the 2200 UTC end of the animation (SPC storm reports<\/strong><\/a>).\u00a0 Both the GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 \u00b5m<\/strong><\/a>) images and the GLM Group<\/em> (GLM Events<\/em> clustered by proximity; see this<\/strong><\/a> blog post) data points were available at 1-minute intervals, since the region was within the domain of one of the Mesoscale Sectors<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note that during the early portion of the animation, a number of GLM Group points were located south of the rapidly-expanding cold cloud top shield — GLM data are parallax<\/strong><\/a>-corrected, assuming a cloud-top height of 12.5 km. The 18 UTC tropopause height was 15.0 km on the 18 UTC sounding<\/strong><\/a> at Davenport, Iowa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
