The GOES-11 (GOES-West)<\/em> satellite was placed into Super Rapid Scan Operations (SRSO) mode on 10 September 2008<\/a>, <\/strong>allowing imagery at 1-minute intervals to monitor Hurricane Ike in the Gulf of Mexico. Using the visible channel imagery (above; QuickTime animation<\/a>),<\/strong><\/em> the large satellite viewing angle from GOES-West positioned over the Pacific Ocean (the satellite zenith angle is approximately 66 degrees for features over the Gulf of Mexico)<\/em> allowed for an interesting “oblique view” of convective bursts developing around the core of Hurricane Ike.<\/p>\n

GOES-11 10.7 \u00c2\u00b5m IR imagery (below; QuickTime animation<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> revealed a band of very cold cloud top temperatures — colder than -80\u00c2\u00ba C (purple colors)<\/em> — in the northeastern quadrant of Hurricane Ike early in the day. The minimum cloud top brightness temperature value of -83\u00c2\u00ba C<\/strong> was seen at 12:49 and 13:19 UTC. During the course of the day, Hurricane Ike re-intensified into a Category 2 storm as it moved over a high Ocean Heat Content<\/a><\/strong> area in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n

A plot of NOAA aircraft reconnaissance data from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones<\/strong><\/a> site (below)<\/strong><\/em> showed that Ike was a rather large hurricane, with tropical storm force winds extending\u00c2\u00a0 a significant distance away from the eye. TRMM\/TMI (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager) data<\/a><\/strong> indicated that Ike possessed a double eyewall structure, with a small inner eye within a very large outer eyewall.<\/p>\n
