MODIS Snow/Cloud Discriminator Example
As part of the GOES-R Satellite Proving Ground, NASA MODIS data are being used to preview the kinds of snow detection capabilities that will become available from the GOES-R ABI. The fading image example above demonstrates the MODIS Snow/Cloud Discriminator … Continue reading

A known limitation of the observed and synthetic Fog Product
Let’s analyze the following loop of the synthetic fog product, generated from the 4-km NSSL WRF-ARW model: http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/templates/loop_directory.asp?data_folder=training/visit/loops/10oct11_syn_fog/ In this color table, grey into light blue represents increasing confidence in liquid water clouds. Our example from the 0000 UTC 10 … Continue reading

Synthetic Satellite Imagery in Temperature Forecasting
Synthetic satellite imagery can be useful in forecasting temperature. This example from September 20-21, 2011 demonstrates the utility of synthetic imagery from the 4-km NSSL WRF-ARW model in forecasting the overnight low temperature. Focusing on southeast Wyoming, examine the synthetic … Continue reading
