On 30 June 2022, Dr. Yoo-Jeong Noh (CIRA) gave a Satellite Book Club (SBC) presentation titled “Progress and Improvements for Satellite-based Cloud Layers & 3D Cloud Data”. The talk focused on the most recent CIRA Cloud Team developments and improvements to CIRA’s cloud vertical cross-section product along flight paths, which is being developed by the CIRA Cloud Team in support of the NOAA JPSS Aviation Initiative. This experimental product aims to provide a comprehensive collection of data from multiple sources into one package and extend the benefit of satellite cloud data into the vertical dimension for aviation users and forecasters. The product is made available through a web-based interface. Most recently, a user-interactive option for custom cross-sections over user-selectable routes using 3D gridded satellite cloud data was introduced at https://aviation.cira.colostate.edu/define-custom-cross-section . Many of the improvements to the product are the result of user interactions (aviation forecasters and pilots) with the development team.
