GOES-16 imagery captured the spectacular explosive cyclogenesis event on the eastern seaboard on 4 January.  First, we’ll look at the 3 GOES-16 water vapor channels along with the air mass RGB product:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The loop is zoomed in over the surface low.  The Day Cloud Phase Distinction product adds additional value in terms of variable cloud heights, with colder clouds being glaciated which shows up from the 1.6 um band contribution and even colder clouds from the 10.3 um band contribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
