AWIPS images of 4-km resolution GOES-13 3.9 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR data (above; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> displayed a number of “hot spots” (black to red to yellow\u00c2\u00a0 color enhancement)<\/em> associated with fires that were burning across much of eastern Oklahoma on 23 March 2011<\/strong><\/a>. The GOES-13 satellite had been placed into Rapid Scan Operations (RSO) mode to monitor severe convection in the eastern US, providing images as frequently as every 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n

The corresponding 1-km resolution GOES-13 6.3 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel images (below; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> showed the development of a few long southeastward-drifting smoke plumes emanating from some of the larger fires.<\/p>\n

A comparison of the 4-km resolution GOES-13 3.9 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR image with the corresponding 1-km resolution POES AVHRR 3.7 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR image (below)<\/strong><\/em> demonstrates the advantage of higher spatial resolution for determining the exact location of the hottest fire pixels, as well as for the detection of many of the smaller fires.<\/p>\n

These samples of images at both higher temporal resolution and at higher spatial resolution offer a glimpse of the types of improvements that will be available with the ABI instrument on the future GOES-R<\/a><\/strong> satellite. CIMSS participation in GOES-R Proving Ground<\/strong><\/a> activities includes making a variety of POES AVHRR<\/strong><\/a> images and products available for National Weather Service offices to add to their local AWIPS workstations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
