NESDIS recently published a news article highlighting new satellite imagery products developed by Bill Line (STAR). The article discusses the Sea Spray and Blowing Snow RGBs and includes insights from NWS forecasters on how these products enhance operational weather forecasting. These RGBs provide crucial information for detecting hazardous winter conditions, improving situational awareness for forecasters and mariners. The full article, Harnessing Satellite Data: NOAA’s New Satellite Tool Enhances Winter Weather Warnings, can be accessed here. (POC: B. Line, SMCD/APDB, bill.line@noaa.gov)
The Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch (RAMMB) of NOAA/NESDIS conducts research on the use of satellite data to improve analysis, forecasts and warnings for regional and mesoscale meteorological events. RAMMB is co-located with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO.
