As part of its NOAA post Launch Science Test<\/strong><\/a>, the GOES-15 satellite was placed into Super Rapid Scan Operations (SRSO) mode on 24 August 2010<\/strong>, providing images at 1-minute intervals to monitor Hurricane Danielle<\/strong><\/a>. McIDAS images of GOES-15 0.63 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel data (above)<\/em><\/strong> did show some interesting convective development associated with Danielle, but no eye was apparent.<\/p>\n

While Danielle had intensified into a Category 2 hurricane during the preceding overnight hours, a collapse in both intensity and in satellite appearance began during the daylight hours. AWIPS images of the CIMSS MIMIC Total Precipitable Water<\/strong><\/a> (TPW) product (below)<\/em><\/strong> did show that some dry air became entrained into the southern and eastern quadrants of Danielle, but fairly far from the center of the tropical cyclone.<\/p>\n

In addition to the entrainment of dry air, there was also a change from light easterly wind shear on 23 August<\/strong><\/a> to light northwesterly wind shear on 24 August, as seen on images from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones<\/strong><\/a> site (below)<\/strong><\/em>. It is unclear to what degree either of these factors played in the decrease in intensity\u00c2\u00a0 of Hurricane Danielle (which was actually downgraded to a Tropical Storm later in the day)..<\/p>\n

There was an 8-hour gap in SRSO imagery due to a GOES-15 satellite maneuver, but once the 1-minute interval imagery resumed, it almost appeared as though Danielle was trying to form a more organized convective eyewall later during the day (below)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
