RISThe Role of GOES Satellite Imagery in Tracking Low-Level Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note provides examples of how geostationary satellite data can be applied to augment other data sources in tracking warm, moist air masses as they move northward from the Gulf of Mexico. These so-called returning air ...
A Satellite Perspective of the 3 May 1999 Great Plains Tornado Outbreak within Oklahoma
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery from 3 May 1999 is examined. Synoptic-scale water vapor imagery shows a deepening low-amplitude upper-level trough over the western United States on 3 May, ...
Using the GOES-16 Split Window Difference to Detect a Boundary prior to Cloud Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGeostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) was launched into geostationary orbit in late 2016 and began providing unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution imagery early in 2017. Its Advanced ...
Evaluation of and Suggested Improvements to the WSM6 Microphysics in WRF-ARW Using Synthetic and Observed GOES-13 Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynthetic satellite imagery can be employed to evaluate simulated cloud fields. Past studies have revealed that the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) single-moment 6-class (WSM6) microphysics scheme in the Advanced ...

Satellite Observations of a Severe Supercell Thunderstorm on 24 July 2000 Made during the GOES-11 Science Test
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper utilizes a severe thunderstorm case from 24 July 2000 to demonstrate the relevance of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) rapid-scan imagery and sounder data in the short-range forecasting ...
Fire Detection Using GOES Rapid Scan Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper demonstrates the proper use of geostationary satellite imagery in wildland fire detection. The roles of both the visible and the 3.9-?m channels are emphasized. Case studies from June 2002 are presented to ...
An Automated Mobile Phone Photo Relay and Display Concept Applicable to Operational Severe Weather Monitoring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he increasing use of mobile phones (MPs) equipped with digital cameras and the ability to post images and information to the Internet in real time has significantly improved the ability to report events almost instantaneously. ...
VISIT: Bringing Training to Weather Service Forecasters Using a New Distance-Learning Tool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: What is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service doing in these times of rapidly changing technology and falling budgets to maintain high training standards? One solution used by ...
Synthetic Satellite Imagery for Real-Time High-Resolution Model Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: utput from a real-time high-resolution numerical model is used to generate synthetic infrared satellite imagery. It is shown that this imagery helps to characterize model-simulated large-scale precursors to the formation ...
