OCTANE Direction Sandwich now on SLIDER
The Optical flow Code for Tracking, Atmospheric motion vector, and Nowcasting Experiments Direction sandwich is now provided in near-real-time in all 4 GOES mesosectors on SLIDER2: https://rammb-slider2.cira.colostate.edu/. The product blends 0.64 (10.3) μm imagery (brightness) with the resolved cloud-drift motion directions (colors) and highlights convection developing in strong directional vertical shear, as well as trends in intensity over mature convection via cloud-top divergence. The product also highlights the center of low-pressure systems (see figure below). (POC: J. Apke, C. Seaman, S. Miller CIRA; B. Line NOAA) Funding: NOAA/NESDIS/GOES-R.
